It's yet another moment to share my views with you all made possible by the eco train, all thanks to the community managers.
The question I am discussing today has two three words "success, spiritual and perspective". Let me quickly break down these words in the context of the question I am discussing, so we can understand them better. Starting with success, one can ask "what is success in the perspective of spirituality?
One can be said to have attain success spiritually when the person have completely become honest, and pure towards embracing the inner light/ spiritual path; this can be further marked when you are more aware of the little things around you and the impact you have on them, when you begin to find happiness in the simple things that life has to offer, far off what we all consider as luxury, when you begin to listen more rather than talking more, when you become less paranoid of things you can't control, when you become more thankful and grateful etc. The moment you start exhibiting these traits and many more, it is a positive sign that you have unlocked success spiritually.
Now let us look at the second key word "spiritual". Still in the light of the notion that I am discussing: what symmetry does spirituality and success share together? Before answering that I would like to remind us that it is no longer news in our present day and times, anyone who claims to be spiritual is usually viewed through a judgmental lens often and standards are set quite too high for the given individual. This observation brings me back to the question I just asked. Answering that question, the symmetry between spirituality and success is the destination.
The human mind is always set out towards a destination that would either be a blessing or bring destruction. This can be noticed when we examine the goals we set for ourselves individually, the people we mingle with, the style of daily living we chose etc. Spirituality guides our path while we seek balance between our inner self and the outer world.
Finally, let me analyze "perspective" in this contest. Here it is a way of understanding, interpreting and following up your path, in accordance to the beliefs you are principled in.
Having broken down those keywords in the contest of the major topic I am writing to you about, it is now time to tackle the topic properly. Success from a spiritual perspective, is repetitive striving against our weak human soul towards attaining that which makes us feel whole and pure. This comes in various forms and is not tied to the standard religious views that we already have.
Striving hard against all odds and disappointments and then coming out successful is a spiritual experience. I want us to see spirituality and success from a different scope. Deep down in us, our inner person is in its purest form and ready for action and a whole new experience, but often the soul is tied down by the things we see on the outside. I would like to conclude by borrowing a speech from one of the senses of my favorite series movie "MarcoPolo"
"Kung Fu: It means supreme skill from hard work. A great poet has reached Kung Fu, The painter, the calligrapher, they can be said to have Kung Fu; even the cook, the one who sweeps steps, or a masterful servant can have Kung Fu. Practice, preparation, endless repetition, until your mind is weary and your bones ache until you're too tired to sweat, too wasted to breathe. That is the way, the only way that one acquires Kung Fu." - Hundred Eyes
