WHO ARE WE?

Some doubts appearing in my mind that often force me to think hard and introspect my inner being. As I think harder analyzing….
Who we are? ….
Well, we are the creation of supreme creator. We are one of his best conceptions. May be He was mesmerized and lost after creating and viewing us, so elated He was to see the best species shaped by him to such perfection. We have been assigned duties to perform immaculately as intendd by Him. Though, we cannot move without His will, yet we have been empowered to think and act on our own. But Can we? Do we need to? Although we always act as we are asigned to by Him, yet the finer tuning of our deeds has to be performed by us. Applying only our wisdom, actually we are going through these finer tuning acts only. Even then we squander always, the precious time. We forget Him (the Supreme) shamelessly in our exuberance to perceive our efforts with his desired will. The task He assigned us to perform is negated in our effort to seek superiority and triumph. We forget always that He has created many like us who are performing yet better.
Another aspect of We, is, we have been given conscious to think, that makes we human best species among all, different from others.. But do we think actually? Or we get drowned in the elation and spirited verve of self-attainment. Restricting us to think only within a narrow spectrumof thoughts, though having this world, wide open before us. But we are arguing and fighting for pettiest possible assignments self arrived at.
While creating us, the human beings, did He ever thought to keep us within shackles? Ever conceived about our limitations? Limitation of country, races, religions. In fact he created us even thinking us as next powerfull to Him. Even He expected us to explore about Him as well. But what are we doing? Lost Him somewhere in the middle, never ever remembering the factual causes he created us for. Even if we remember Him, it is for our greed only. Construe His being to our accordance to our need. Design and desires. Using Him as a tool to negate His existence too. We forgot our basic task assigned to explore spiritually, in our arrogance of never attainable desires, boundless greed and malice. Instead of bringing harmony and love we are spreading discord and hatred contrary to his desires. This all has resulted in forgetting our primary job, which was assigned to us,

What was that primary job? Lets question …
He created all things and after all His creations He created us to take charge of what has been created by Him. We were supposing to act on his behalf always been benevolent, benign, caring and skillful. He left many things for us to create and explore in this world. May be busy in creation at other planets. Things in our pattern .We took charge and acted in accordance to this primarily, creating many basic things like fire, clothes, food many things, but then gone astray. Loosing our path attracted and allured by physical attractions and charm. We forgot spiritualism, our basic task. Confining us within the limit. All sorts of limit…of boundaries, countries, religions, cast, fortunes many petty things. Only thing, which was shackled, was humanity, hard to be found, a rare commodity.

Yet the question remains what is spiritualism?
Well it’s not easy to define but still in my opinion… its to raise the spirit or your inner being to feel the feelings of others, or in a way the inner enlightened desires to share the others feelings can be roughly termed as spiritualism. The spirit is raised so much so that the feelings of others seems to be sensed on the spirited soul it self. As if some thing happening to him. A soul comes nearer to the other even amalgamate some times. It’s not something, which are not worldly feelings, out of the world or elevated, but it’s the verve to share others feelings. Only when these feelings die, dies the spirit. Remains only physical psyche, which we term as sense. But spiritualism is quite different from physical sense. It’s the inner enlightenment of soul to be more precise.
So was our primary task, to come nearer to each other, to come nearer to the almighty. Not to get carried away by what we have achieved may be spiritually or physically. This can be attained through thinking, and that’s why we are different from the other species He created.

Then how do we practice spiritualism?
In my opinion to practice spiritualism is not to do away from worldly things or beings in a manner we generally perceive. Rather to adopt this practice by remaining with this world doing all our other basic obligations we can practice spiritualism as well. It demands only to have basic human values within our self.
And that is Humanity. It’s as simple as that.
If a persons inner being is so elevated that he can look Him inside oneself and can find Him as well in others too, he need not fall astray. The spirit gets to reach the almighty. Sooner his ability to explore surmounts the desires. He need not be a Sanyasi or Sufee or a deserter from the world. Automatically the other aspects will seem very petty to him. He will be out of any shackles, boundaries and limitations He can prove to have a model role in this world. Without being preaching any thing, he will a mass followers of his path. He will be as mortal as any body as worldly as any human being still with elevated spirit he will be as prominent as Almighty.
We have been preached lot about relegion, Karmas, and spiritualism by many eminent personalities devising their own methods of getting to the Almighty. Almost all have bonded us in some sort of limitations, prohibitions shackling our self-beings within ourselves. None have left us free to explore what we spiritually aspire to achieve? The peace, satisfaction,
Names like Gautam Buddha.Mahaveera, The Shankaracharya, many Islamic Preachers, they all preached to sacrifice some thing or the other. But ofcourse they first practiced themselves. Shackling us some how they kept us within limitations. But why they preached? Do we need preaching? They had followers also but in today’s fast paced world all are fading. Why? Because they were demanding. Not leaving us free to explore. And that’s why they seem outdated. Devoid of followings.

In today’s world the man is not going to conceive unless he practices. And to make him practice the ethos should be simple, the task easy to follow. Not demanding like the preaching of yester years. He should conceive easily what he is made to understand. Although the task is arduous yet less demanding. One simply has to see Him in others as well as within oneself. Has to do away with nothing. But simply postulate HUMANITY.
