What brand of clothes you wear, your bank balance or the profession you chose, can be mere factors in life which affect one’s understanding of spirituality. Whether you are clad in a Gucci or flash an expensive brand – if you can save a part of yourself, your innocence and a part of your silence, you can see God or experience Him anywhere.
If you see goodness in people, you find goodness coming into your life. This positivity in your own life translates into a sense of well being and joy that probably no amount of manipulations and strategies can get you. Life needs to be simple.
One may probably lack the level of consciousness to remember exactly when his or her life was touched by the Divine. But, there are times when you feel special from within. Many times when you have stumbled in life, you might have felt that you were being guided. A lot of times when you have felt terribly weak and unable to go on — your weakness got transformed to your anger and subsequently your anger became your strength. At that point of time, all the people in your life who supported you in those moments were nothing, but a divine blessing.
One has to experience sadness to value happiness. It is just the same way, that one can experience the beauty and glory of morning sun light, only after the dark night. When we see the bottomless pit of materialism, we open our minds’ doors to spirituality which is nothing, but a quest to satiate one’s mind.
Spirituality is extremely personal and individualistic, and has nothing to do with a talisman or Cavalli briefs with images of God that you wear.
In a day-to-day context, spirituality means keeping malice and negativity at bay, seeing goodness in others and saving yourself from the set rules of the world. For me, it’s about seeing God where I want to — not necessarily in a mosque or a temple, but probably sitting in my bedroom at night — a place where I get a feeling of security, peacefulness and positivity.
