Key to spirituality

 Key to spirituality 

There is a "key" .....

Handling of any "subtle"(fragile_like) yet, complex  key.....needs a little  understanding about the "nature" of that key. 🙂

The key is "to ALLOW it to happen"

We cannot PULL out a crop. A good crop has to happen! A "good" farmer only_can set the 'conditions' better😰🙏( like tilling the land, adding fertilizer,  removing weeds, irrigating the field as per 'required' periodicity and quantity.)

"Allow" is a mental condition in our case here!  We foreclose over_expectations. Expectations is like pulling out the plant to "see" if roots are growing 😅... the growth stunts or fails!  So, just focus on the 'conditions' each time😔 . This attitude CONSTITUTES into what we call as 'humility'( great ascetics don't bother about 'humility'. We call them humble/unassumimg____whereas, they are only setting the conditions, knowing its value🙏

When some unique/uncommon experience dawns, mind would very_naturally begin looking towards it to happen more frequently & intensely! We try to Transcend that 'nature'( resisting, suppressing, or patronizing and pampering is.....merely diverting of our_focus!  Ordinary minds/lack of intensity types....wouldn't grasp this 🙏

Man_made objects, human tasks, etc can be intensified with efforts. Different from "allowing it to happen" by itself🙂. This distinction has to be borne in mind always🙏.  ( as we say "love or affection" cannot be forced upon. Greed or desire can feign a love/affection, but the purity is lacking😜. Spiritual growth is allowed to happen, like wise! The benefits are immense and incidental,  for our handling of worldly_life, and therefore not something that 'diverts' our life from routine better living.  When the "spirit" grows stronger, everything that works due to spirit would happen a bit effortlessly,  isn't it? 🙏

Are we not too busy with our "routine" life too much? A pre-occupied mind, all our waking hours? We are oblivious to the power, quality and magnitude of the fuel that runs our lives? The spirit? Even to nurture a desire to strengthen our spirit, we don't have a reason that can ''convince" our mind! And, both these ( mind and spirit) are too abstract to allow a grasp. Mind is somewhat familiar to us. Whereas, the source of mind's fuel, that-spirit, feels like a non-existant entity😅😜. ( spirit .... spirituality..... is a "human" possibility!  A whole society was spiritually_evolved in the ancient times! Please see if this hint 'seems to answer' the doubts about the seemingly paradoxical fact that ancient were simple about their way_of_life, despite a super_intelligence in grasp of subtlest aspects of life! We are, on the other hand getting more and more inextricably-stuck, into our scientific-advancements in our frantic efforts towards comfortable_living!
