Top 1% True Spirituality = You vs. Your Mind

Whatever you nourish gets stronger

Have you ever had that deep contemplation within yourself?

You know where you finally get frustrated with life. You keep doing your best, yet the darkness within rises. You’ve been going through challenges, but one day you snap.

You get sick of hanging on the thin thread of hope and finally decide you have two options:

1. To dive into the uncharted routes of life and understand what the heck life is.
2. Give up completely, distract yourself with worldly goals, and decide to control whatever you can.

Spirituality is not a cup of tea for everyone.

Over two decades of my spiritual journey, I rarely met someone looking for enlightenment.

It made me an odd sheep.

The thirst, the cries, silent sittings, and cravings meant nothing to anyone.

Even now, for those who seek my guidance, not everyone wants to understand life deeply. They are satisfied if the current problem gets solved. That is it.

They bid me farewell until the next problem arises.

Thinking life will get on track by solving that problem ticking like a time bomb serves no purpose.

Why?

Because another time bomb is in the making. The cycle will go on until you realize there is no way but to go deep within yourself.

There is no shortcut, only procrastination.

Spirituality does not solve your problem. It makes the issue disappear.

Life seems problematic to everyone at every stage.

Flashback 10 years back. My friend messaged me she was unhappy with her marriage. Although her husband was caring, she fell out of love. She wanted to escape to someplace where she could be alone.

Six years back, she moved to the US and got admission to her favorite college. During those two years, her mother mentally harassed her. With her back-to-back study sessions, she could not give full attention to her toddler, who suffered the most.

Four years back, she divorced her depressed husband. Left her mother. Moved to another state and started living with her boyfriend.

Two years back, she left her boyfriend and got into legal battles for joint ownership of some property they took.

You may try to escape certain people and run away from life situations. You may think and try to achieve something better than what you have right now.

But you can never escape yourself.

Wherever you go, wherever you hide, you are always with you.

Yes, try what you think is best for you. Do what you feel is right for you.

But also try to deepen your relationship with your authentic self.

Finding answers, joy, and satisfaction in this world is an illusion. That is why ancient sages said, “The world is Maya, the illusion.”

There is nothing that can satisfy you. What you seek is your true self, nothing else.

Everybody is stuck in momentary satisfaction. The moment may range from minutes to even years. The addictions can be love, sex, money, power, or position.

But all these issues crumble as you get more in tune with your conscious self.

You are beyond your mind and its stories.

Unfortunately, we only learn how to survive but never really learn how to live.

Life is simple. But the mind facility makes everything complex.

How?

By mixing desires, expectations, and sentiments in any situation. The mind stirs emotions and endless thoughts and magnifies any issue. It fogs your judgment and vision.

Last year, a massive fight between people happened in my locality. Why? Because someone said something, and it blew out of proportion.

That is how the mind works.

Most people live their entire life in auto mode. They don’t even realize how they act like puppets while their mind rules them.

But true spirituality teaches you to witness the mind and its stories.

I know how sticky and real emotions feel. It is not easy to witness them as a spectator without getting attached.

But if you are a genuine seeker and want to understand what the heck life is, then this is the shortest route.

Don't feed your stories with thoughts and emotions. Instead, become aware of them. With consistent efforts, it is doable but requires your dedication.

Resisting your mind will backfire, always.

Fighting the mind with your counter-thoughts is no solution.

If you believe in a negative thought and live it daily, your positive thinking will not make negativity disappear. It will only make it stronger.

For instance, if you are suffering from back pain. And it feels painful to walk or sit. You can not forcefully induce positive thoughts if you feel gloomy within yourself.

Why?

Because it is NOT true for you. Deep down, you know you are in pain. You can’t dismiss your suffering.

Don’t resist your mind. Otherwise, it will create more suffering.

Instead, be with that pain. Cry, weep, and support that pain to come out of the system.

Sometimes it is better to be all hopeless and cry your heart out. It heals faster than wearing a facade of strength.

Final Thoughts

True spirituality pushes you to go within your darkness. It does not beat around the bush and tell you rosy things. Instead, it shows where you are stuck and how to go beyond it. And it is painful.

Spirituality does not bring you into a blissful life. Instead, blissful, unconditional life is a side effect of true spirituality. Rarely do people understand it.

But when they do, their life transforms miraculously.

You are the way, you are the path. If you genuinely seek, you are never far. What you seek is you Right here and now available Divinity hides within Beneath the burden of your thoughts and emotions

Let them come, let them go It is the only thing you can do Empty yourself of all beliefs Then grace can enter and light you up The way you always have been!
