SPIRITUALITY

I am a teenager and like every teenager I was not much in rituals, beliefs, practises. But things changed, perspectives changed due to new experiences of good and bad. And I got curious to be into the learning and studying of spirituality. Okay, so here I am not trying to be a monk or something like that, but I will just be sharing my experiences and what I have learnt.

What is Spirituality? So it's quite impossible to breakdown spirituality meaning completely by penning down or verbalize. But somehow a little bit we can break it down. Defined as a monky Spirituality is where spirit is behind the ritual. When rituals are done with intentions and depth, with deeper understanding with the spirit of love and compassion.

Meditation is the biggest aspect of Spirituality. If I have to be more clear about meditation, it is the process of focusing on one thing, it may be your breathe, or on one sound or on a single thought. You will be focusing on different stuffs as a whole.

Why do we have to attain Meditation? Because it makes you more focused. Being a teenager we face a lot of problems in our studies, carrier, we face heartbreaks, love failures. So you can overcome all these pains through meditation. Because it will help you to explore within yourself. You don't have to expect things from others, you don't need any validation from others, you will be focusing on yourself and growing of yourself. Meditation accelerates your healing.

Meditation kind of exercises your mind, and not only meditation but for exercising your mind you should go through good books, be surrounded by good friends because all these compiled stuffs is what spirituality is.

A learning from the 6th Chapter of Bhagavad Geeta says ''Meditation helps you to play with your mind''. Our mind has two tangents: Befriending your mind and Snubbing your mind. Meditation helps you in befriending your mind which will make you to act in the correct manner.

If we go deeply into the meaning and tangents of Spirituality it has got another aspect which is the ''Cycle of Karma'' which says you have to be constantly doing good things and good deeds. Like the World of Spirituality believes in the Concept of re-birth, like all the things you have done good and the pathetic stuffs you had done will determine your next existence would be good or bad. And at some point you do such good deeds that you attain ''Mukti'' what great saints like Buddha, Mahaveer went through.
