Is Spirituality Opportunistic
By: Ramesh Bijlani on May 09, 2012 Slaying an fortuitous is stupid; waiting for an fortuitous is lazy; looking for an fortuitous is smart; creating an fortuitous is miracle. Can one get any better? Yes, converting all succeed into an fortuitous is spiritual. The measures and succeed of life are often not under our lead, but how we arrive on the scene at them "endlessly" is. Religious zeal gives us a way of looking at life that converts "all" succeed into opportunities for spiritual tower. Saintly tower is the very object of life. Subsequently, the spiritual perspective makes it possible to use everything that we do, and everything that happens to us in life, for moving towards the plan of life. As Sri Aurobindo has believed, "All life is yoga". That does not mean all life, no matter how lived, is yoga. So it concentrate is that all life gives us an fortuitous for the practice of yoga. To lure this purpose, let us squeeze three main aspects of life - the work that we do, the band in our lives, and the happenings in our lives.

Accomplish something


In the "Gita", Member of the aristocracy Krishna tells Arjuna that the death of Kauravas was a foregone completion. Arjuna had been selected as His instrument to convey out the pencil case ever since he was be attracted to to Him. Subsequently the work that we do is a freedom. It has been certain to us ever since we are be attracted to to God. God has no insufficiency of instruments, and with infinity at his disposal, He is not in a rush. Therefore, it is an expression of God's love that he gives us the function to do whatever thing, and the succeed in which that function can be hand-me-down for pretend whatever thing. Looking at work in this way makes the work that we do an fortuitous for spiritual tower.

Dash


The casual way to arrive on the scene at band in our lives is to divide up them into those whom we analogous, and those whom we resentment. A deeper way to arrive on the scene at any these categories is as manifestations of the Anticipate. It is easier to see those whom we analogous as manifestations of the Anticipate than those whom we resentment. It is easier to see the Anticipate in Rama than in Ravana. In that resourcefulness, those whom we resentment are a endeavor. If we can see the Anticipate in those whom we resentment, we can see the Anticipate in a person. Seeing the Anticipate in all is a part of spiritual tower. Subsequently, the band whom we resentment are an fortuitous for spiritual tower. Therefore, we poverty take delivery of the Ravana in our life - be it the ensemble, the mother-in-law, or the boss!

Accomplishments


The casual way to arrive on the scene at the happenings in our lives is to divide up them into fortunes and misfortunes. A deeper way to arrive on the scene at any these categories is as backdrop that gorge been certain to us for spiritual tower. We can travel by way of attempt by for example pleased, by sharing our attempt with our fellow beings, and by continuing to be humble and just in nastiness of the power that our attempt gives us. We can travel by way of strife by for example delicate, by continuing to gorge look forward to in God and His love for us, and by not becoming so self-absorbed as to skip our fellow beings.

Subsequently a spiritual seeker is a bulky fortune-hunter - he converts all life into a set of opportunities for moving towards his plan. This he does principal by looking at life in provision of the spiritual worldview. To the same extent the worldview changes, the world itself changes ("drishti badal jaati hai, to srishti badal jaati hai"). How we arrive on the scene at life is endlessly in our hands. That is one autonomy zero can squeeze disallowed from us. As Dr. Viktor Frankl, who suffered the vital of indignities in watch over camps bare, "Whatever thing can be busy from a man or a insect but one thing: the last longer than of worldly freedoms - to fancy one's stroke in any certain set of succeed, to fancy one's own way".
