Spirituality: way of the life
Spirituality is a way of life. It is nothing to do with a specific way of worshiping. To different people Bhakti and spirituality is different types.
People worship their “Supreme self” which is known as Atma-Bhakti. It is far away from visiting a sacred precinct to stand in long queues to see a swaroop. Then comes “Ishwara’s bhakti” which is bow in front of formless Cosmic lord which as per our hindu tradition we have 330 million deities. The third one is “Ishta-Bhakti” which is to worship one chosen lord. People follow this as per one family worshiping one Seul deity for ages just because it is been always there.The last one is “Guru-Bhakti” which is to follow a human being who is a Saadhu or walking on the path of Saadhna. He is the one who has left the worldly pleasures and walking on the path of tyaag and tapasaya.
Any of these four is acceptable and a personal choice of worshiping. As per me a person a like a ship without sailor off he is far away from spirituality. In entire world Indians are known for Bhakti. In Hindi literature there are various Raja’s who travelled far away bare feet to attain enlightenment, which is considered as utmost achievement apart from whatever materialistic achievements one has attained. Supreme peace is the only idea before long-lasting sleep.
A person even now is entangled in worldly pleasures in his lifetime which suddenly started detaching from it one by one. It is said the time has come. One should now attach themselves to god and leave all these things behind before getting lost the light of death.
Spirituality proliferates the living standard if done in a right manner else this is also just another way to make money which indeed people are making in numerous ways!
I can summarise my idea of loving god and walking on his step in one bhajan which is very close to my heart and no matter what, more I listen to it more I can swirl in lord’s bhakti.
“Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram
Rama Naraynam Janaki Vallabham”
In this the names of Lord Krishna are written in Sanskrit. It is said Sanskrit is one of the purest language in the world form which many foreign languages has been born. The more we sing these names the more closer we come to Lord Vishnu as Krishna ji was a reincarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Kaun Kehte Hai Bhagvan Aate Nahi
Tum Meera Ke Jaise Bulate Nahi
Who says God doesn’t come to you?
You don’t call her like Meera does.
Meerabai was a poetess who has given her life in the name lord Krishna, no matter her husband denied her worshiping another man, she never listened she considered herself wife of Krishna and loved him without asking anything in return. The depth of her preach was too deep to be denied to be accepted by lord. To which Krishna never loved her a lover or a wife, yet she surrendered her life to the one she loved.
This is how ones life should be, fragments of expectations are vile!
The dedication in her worship and compassion was enough for her to end her life while merging into an idol of Krishna in Dwarka.
Kaun Kehta Hai Bhagvan Khaate Nahi
Ber Shabri Ke Jaise Khilate Nahi
Shabri was an old lady who Lord Ram; another reincarnation of Lord Vishnu met in the forest of Shabri Dham near Pamasarovar. When she found out lord Rama was hungry she gathered berries from all over the forest. Each berry was rated by her in order to make sure she will not serve a poisonous and bitter berry to Shri Rama. He cautious nature pleased lord Rama and her dedication was loved by him though Lord Rama’s brother Laxman denied Shabari’s affection and considered the berries to be leftovers which has yet another fable to relate with when Laxman got fainted later on.
Kaun Kehta Hai Bhagvan Sote Nahi
Maa Yashoda Ke Jaise Sulate Nahin!
Mother Yashodha was foster mother for Lord Krishna and people vouch for her love towards Krishna. She loved him more than her own son Balram. When a mother love her son there is no comparison. This bhajan is enriched with qualities a person must have in him. This is what spirituality to me. Do whatever you do with utter dedication, compassion, practice truth in life, surrendering is elation of self, de-attachment is sole mantra to live life with enchantment.
One cannot get entirely happy or enlightened yet living life with these principals is a life of walking on path of happiness.
