You do not need to study anything in order to receive the divine truth within. Every soul that has incarnated onto this earthplane has arrived in the only school they need to realize their inherent spirituality This earth school supplies everyone with enough life experiences for each journey. Every incarnation provides excellent opportunities to experience the polarities through different life circumstances.
We may not remember why we chose to come here, but that does not matter. Earthlife will take care of your spiritual lessons each and everyday. It is how we handle ourselves and treat others that reveal to us where our weaknesses and strengths lie.
Not every soul is mindful of the wealth of opportunities that confronts them when life takes a sudden, unexpected turn. A huge test for sure, and when in the thick of such a situation, it can sometimes awaken within the strength that we all have hidden inside of us. How can we know of this enormous strength if we are never put into a situation which makes one dig as deep as they can to find the strength, and perhaps the solutions that are needed. Building spiritual muscles would be a good term to use when life becomes very challenging.
Knowledge itself does not provide you with the experiences you need for your particular life's journey. It does not matter if you are rich or poor, a university graduate or illiterate, for it is the love and courage we have within that will provide the necessary tools to face this life and all it has to offer. What it has to offer each soul is of course as vast as the stars in the sky. That is why this third dimensional world was created, to make one feel through their physicality what the basis of life is all about. If everything you have in the world is taken from you, what is left? Your divine self within. Perhaps by paying less attention to the distractions of this world, one can begin to focus more on the inner-journey.
Sanyasi are people who are aware of how valuable life is without all those outer-world distractions. With conscious choice they give away their possessions and keep only the basic necessities of life. No unnecessary distractions is what is chosen by many on this earth, and not only in India. Even in western society one may renounce the physical world in their own private way and live a very quiet and focused life, communing with nature and the divine. Nature is pure and untainted by material thoughts and ego. The plant kingdom exists for the purpose of being of service to other life forms, as in the role of trees and plant foods. It is for this very reason that humans seek out peace and tranquility in the forests and parks. Also, planting as many trees and plants in your own environs is creating a refreshing space to relax and it also assists in purifying the atmosphere.
Our inner-world needs nurturing as much as our physical self does. It is our inner-world that provides us with the peace and comfort on those very difficult days. When we take the time to connect within at the end of our busy day, by having this inner-retreat as a sacred space of our very own, we do not need outside comforts that could never provide the same energy as our Inner-Self can.
Our spiritual self evolves from within. We can participate with like-minded others in feeding our inner-world with higher vibration activities such as sacred singing of Bhajans. Bhajans are songs that praise the many aspects of the Godhead, and also recalls their times on Earth when great battles were fought between the dark and the light. Recitation of the names of God creates a very blissful feeling and can even awaken the kundalini.
Treat your inner-world with the respect it deserves. It is like a treasure-trove of precious sacred jewels just waiting to be discovered. Approach the inner journey with joy and reverence for the beautiful spark of God within, and with the love you have for your Godself , feel it expand into the fullness of flame.
What beautiful Beings we each are ~ have you realized that yet? The Spiritual Teachers I have come into contact with have always said that it's the actions of a person that we may not like or agree with, and to remember that the person is still a spark of the Divine Source. Wrong actions come from wrong view which leads to wrong perception. It is their own journey to 'figure out' if they so choose. We all have choices.........
Namaste ~
Have a great weekend everyone ~
Tara.
