आध्यात्मिकता - Spirituality
Aadhyatmikata
Adhyatma means relating to soul (Atman) or belonging to self. In other words, transcendental. The Sanskrit word अध्यात्म is combination of two words meaning self study, study of our Atman. When you become spiritual, you will be performing in accordance with the wishes of the soul (Atman) and the Universal Soul, the divine essence of all beings. It's also known as the universal spirit, Brahman, soul consciousness or cosmic consciousness.
Spirituality imbibes the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things or aspects of mundane life.
Spirituality involves recognition of feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to be human than sensory experience and the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature. Spirituality is knowing that our lives have significance in a context beyond a mundane everyday existence at the level of biological needs that drive selfishness and aggression. It means knowing that we are purposeful unfolding of life in our universe.
Spiritual journey involves healing and affirming the ego so that positive states are experienced with secure self-esteem, belief in self-worth and a capacity for love and generosity, a person becomes less constrained by ego defences. An opening of the heart is an essential aspect of true spirituality.
Your ego is your constructed self, a rigid identity that's created a set of beliefs, patterns, and ideas. It's defensive about your identity and rejects anything outside of confirmed thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors.
Spirituality is a journey to understand more about your own self, your inherent nature, your default program with which you were born with and got deviated from it over a period of time. It is like this, when you were born, you had a set default program which you did not adhere to over the course of your lifetime and became a deviated individual and living a life of other rather than your own self.
Spirituality is a journey of bring us back into our original default state rather than living on a borrowed identity. It is about getting back to our original self and never lead a altered way of life. It is more about realizing and coming back to our source, the origin, or the original state we are supposed to be.
We have drifted away from our original source and thereby losing our original identity and have gotten lost in the journey of life now knowing who we are, what is happening in our life, where we are going, whether we are moving at all. Literally to say, we are in a confused state of mind as far as our life is concerned.
There are literally two ways one can lead their respective life and so they become. If you do not accept yourself as you are then you adopt the mindy way where in you are calculative in every aspect of life and you think you can control everything in life and you can become other than who you really are and start projecting other than who you are. If you adopt this approach then you become ambitious, aggressive, competitive, egoistic, ruthless, heartless, objective oriented, materialistic and being possessive throughout your life. You will have a insatiable desires which does not get fulfilled in this one life. You are always hungry for power, fame, and fortune and you will go to any extent in the pursuit of that. You do not mind losing friends and relatives and losing your self esteem to reach your unrealistic goals in life.
The other approach towards gracious living is, first and foremost is to realize and accept yourself completely with full gratitude. Once you have accepted your self wholeheartedly then living becomes an effortless game without competition, ambition, and possessiveness. Now you have dissolved your ego and you are possessed by nature and you do not want to possess anything else. When you realize and come to an understanding that you belong to everything and everything belongs to you, you do not chase or run around anything at all in life. You let go of your self to such an extent that there is no self inside of you and you become selfless. You live gracefully with full of gratitude for everything in life. Your way of living will be different because grace will set in. You just go with the flow of life effortlessly and enjoy every moment of your life on this earth.
You cannot become other than who you really are - you are born complete. You do not lack anything less than God because you are born out of him.
Become Spiritual and Become Your True Self
