DO WE NEED A TEACHER TO GROW SPIRITUALLY?

in #hive-1230463 years ago

I find this week's question really very complicated, due to the spiritual situation that my mind is going through at the moment, there is also the fact that I only know two religions and neither of them have filled my soul with their teachings which nobody takes into account, the most I have learned about goodness and how to try to live my life has been thanks to short readings I have had and one or another video on the internet, without leaving aside the teachings I received from my mother who for me was the kindest woman I have ever known, so I am at the point of not believing anything or just let life flow by itself, but I know that this is not the ideal option.

Many times I have been tempted to search for a new learning, to show me how to live, this guide for life so to speak, I don't know if I can find it in a guide or in a religion different from the ones I know, after reading the question I was intrigued to know what this whole subject was about, So I set out to inquire about the word guru and, although in my little knowledge I knew what it was about a spiritual master, the most I knew about this was from a comedy movie I saw some time ago, called the guru picka, which I laughed a lot I must say.

I read a little about the subject, what a guru imparts and tries to teach and it is something I liked, that's why I think this question, it can simply be a sign or whatever they call it, after all this learned in these hours, my beliefs and faith, almost destroyed, where I felt like Lisa Simpson when she wanted to look for a new religion to follow.

In summary, after all this seen, heard and read today, my answer to the question is "Yes", I do not know if we all need a guru or spiritual master, but I feel it would be good to have that person to help us and show us how to live without pain, how to learn about life to achieve to reach spiritual harmony, for my part I will read and try to learn about this doctrine because the teaching they impart I think they would simply end my spiritual search, this one that has been in conflict for some time.

All these questions and topics have made me reflect so much on how little I know about life, what I have yet to learn, as a colleague commented in my previous publication "The road is long and personal, may your conscience guide you", I believe that my path is about to begin.

Without further ado I say goodbye friends, until next time.

It nice sharing your thought here as you have said it good to have a spiritual mentor which one can actually learn from and grow

The road is long, I hope to meet this mentor soon, my search has already begun, greetings.

Soonest

It is really nice you shared your own view and thought on this which is really nice. In other to grow spiritually we need someone to put us through in other to follow the right path and no knowledge is lost while doing so because of the great teachings we will also acquire as well from them

Certainly before researching thanks to this publication I felt lost in the spiritual path to take, now I have another point of view, greetings.

Yes, we need spiritual leaders to guide us in the right way. Either a guru or teacher, as long as they are leading by example and understand better spiritual things. Thanks for sharing your thought.

Thank you for stopping to read my publication, all this is my current point of view, I learned a lot about this subject and I think I will start looking for the right direction to reach a spiritual peace, which I need at the moment.

It's wonderful that you shared your opinions with us since, as you mentioned, having a spiritual mentor from whom one can learn and grow can be really valuable. Thank you for doing so.
