Spirituality - Part I.
The path of ADHYATAM or Spirituality is considered by the young generation some sort of religious gimmick and the fad of old people.. Nothing could be far from truth than this notion.First of all it is important to note that spirituality has nothing to do with any sectarian religion. It is highly scientific and universal in nature. Secondly it is not at all hostile to materialism and physicality (ramifications of the human body). Whatever difference we find in a realized spiritual person from an ordinary person is the by-product of spiritual attainment or enlightenment. If a spiritual person changes his outlook towards materialism and physicality it is because of deeper understanding of the divine and universal facts and the futility of ordinary worldly activities and not because of any dictates of spirituality. An enlightened person has the choice to live like any other non-spiritual family person with a much better quality of life because of clear vision and highly enhanced physical and mental potential.The earlier a person understands this thing, the better.. Spirituality is also not a male domain as it was considered by some before the entry of certain female protagonists in this field who took courage to break the hegemony of male dominance. Anandmurti Gurumaa, Ritambra Didimaa, Brahmkumari Shivani and numerous others are living examples of this new genderless horizon of spirituality.
