How to Fit in 'spiritual quest' within our routine.....

Though caught in a routine life out of responsibilities of all kinds, and a genuine concern for shouldering those responsibilities, it is gratifying to note there are people who are very much interested in finding a 'tool' that will help them to remain 'hooked' on to their spiritual interests ! It is the very quality of this search that hastens the pace of their search! It is quite reasonable that those who depend on performance of routine responsible jobs expect that the people on spiritual quest are not 'forsaking' their priorities, and that the seekers try to accomodate the concern of those who depend on them is all the more reasonable.

Worry about "Worrying" !!!!!

There was a query "why do I worry about something, especially when others who ought to or also should have worried do not seem to be inclined even to consider worrying about it 'at present'?......". Well, at the outset, I am inclined to view this person with a quality which has a positive potential rather than the so called 'negative' pessimism ! Perhaps right now all he has to do is to view at why he should not 'worry' right now 'about worrying' ! In fact, it is not the "worrying factor" at all that is the cause of his 'worry'. He is 'concerned' about something which others fail to even 'look' at due to lack of farsightedness. He becomes an object or target of 'criticism' for his 'worrying' only because he has 'aired' his concern at a wrong- place, time, or with people. Wrong thing at the right time, right thing at the wrong time/place/people ..... are very commonly used phrases to explain why things are not understood properly !
I am aware, I am evoking more questions rather than answering the basic one in the title.
I humbly bow to the great master Socrates, for having given this methodology for my kind of 'breed' of people, who are at once 'at home' with this tool!
Well folks, "shoot" your reactions.
With "worrying" regards,

Is spirituality "leisure dependent" ?

"I have no leisure" , is what the mind says (one of the reasons), whenever confronted with even a weak urge from within to take a look inwards to find out what is happening to our life !
So please see if it is so that spirituality is 'leisure-oriented' ?
I shall be glad to look at it 'together' with you when I hear your views, comments, or even innocent but experientially true queries.

Is this "body" of yours really yours?
Our 'R.V.' has given his views...........
We invite your views on his .........
R.V. SAYS........(QUOTE)
As everybody should know, this body of ours is not our body. It has been given to us by our parents. We have not done anything to get this body. I sometimes wonder why people spend so much time discussing about how good looking I am, how fair I am, how handsome or beautiful I am. When the body itself is not yours how can you say that I am beautiful. One can at the most say,"This body given to me is beautiful". I also wonder why people when looking for bride or a bridgegroom always pass a comment " The bride is beautiful. The Boy is handsome. If they are not then they say the girl/boy is earning a six figure salray per month. Will a beautiful wife with Six figure salary or a handsome boy with six figure salaray be guaranteed happiness or can they gurantee happiness to others. Looks and money people think will guarantee happiness. One need not do a great deal of analysis to find out that this can never be. Just look at our film stars , the most beautiful and the most monied people . They make their life and others life miserable by beautiful looks and money.Even ordinary people with good looks and a little money have managed to make themselves and others miserable. In almost all the failed marriages, the thing that stands out is the fact that the relationship has failed mainly beccause the husband or the Wife wants to change the other. Many of the marriages/relationship can be easily saved with a little bit of acceptance and respect for each other. Love and hate are the two sides of the same coin. It does not take much time to turn the so called love into hate.
