Spirituality - Definition - The True Inner Meaning
Spirituality - Definition - The True Inner Meaning
By Vijay Kumar Jain
Spirituality is one word which puts a human being on the highest pedestal of life. It is field of Spirituality traveling on which one reaches the last leg of cosmic life nay the form of human being himself!
The goal of Spirituality is attaining salvation (moksha in Hinduism)! From the beginning of the first manifestation as an amoeba to the last manifestation (the 8.4 millionth manifestation)... the goal of every life remains the same.
The phase of life as a human being announces that the life has come full circle. It is only as a human being that one can get enlightened (reach the stage of Nirvikalpa samadhi) and attain salvation (moksha in Hinduism). Reaching the stage of enlightenment is the last step in the field of Spirituality.
Spirituality is living life as it was meant to be... not as we may have desired or wanted living it. Living a life of choice is not the forte of all human beings. Those on the path of pure Spirituality... the true seekers of Spirituality are sometimes able to manifest destiny by establishing absolute control over it.
It is a certain fact that only the true seekers of Spirituality become the masters of their destiny. Knowingly or unknowingly many people who have a materialistic goal in life travel the path of Spirituality and become successful in life. It was not a happening by chance... all was the result of a law which cannot err. These highly acclaimed individuals unknowingly tread the path of pure Spirituality and achieved the goal of their life.
Spirituality in other terms means that before we ask God the Almighty for material riches to be bestowed upon us... we need to compensate by giving something equivalent or more back to the community. This is the path undertaken by most successful entrepreneurs.
In terms of Spirituality we are not supposed to get anything unless we promise to do something in return... in the system of God there is fair play all throughout. As we desire... so shall be the corresponding karma we would be required to perform. Mere false promises bring us nothing.
It was the forte of JRD Tata that he always loved his country and the countryman. The benefit of the society was foremost in his mind all the time. The prime reason why the Tata Empire is known as the foundation builder of India! Tata name itself is representative of building a technological Empire for the benefit of entire nation. This is what Spirituality is all about.
JRD Tata was a trustee par excellence. According to him everything belonged to God and he was merely a trustee carrying out the dictates of God. In his lifetime he never built a house for himself. His love for the material riches of life did not seem to exist at all. His every endeavor was aimed at improving the quality of life of human life and the country as a whole.
What a noble persona JRD Tata was... a true karma yogi indeed! He did not live Spirituality rather Spirituality lived in him. He was a perfect example of how a true spiritual seeker must live his life. JRD may have never admitted that he lived a spiritual life but unknowingly he practiced Spirituality every moment of his life.
JRD Tata followed the dictates of Bhagwad Gita throughout his life unknowingly. Apart from being a true karma yogi... he also excelled in teaching the core values to the society. He was one of the rarest kinds that have ever dwelled on mother earth as material riches and comforts in life never attracted him come whatever may.
JRD Tata excelled in human values to the extent that even most accomplished people on the path of pure Spirituality get dwarfed by his accomplishments. Spirituality is not only seeking the domain of God but even in day-to-day matters of life every human being needs to practice Spirituality.
The famous saying, "whatever we want others to do unto us... we should do unto them" forms the core teachings of Spirituality. It is not merely a saying. It has to be practiced in reality as was preached and advocated by Napoleon hill in his famous books "think and grow rich", "master key to riches" and the famous "law of success in sixteen lessons".
These three Bible books by Napoleon hill... "Think and grow rich", "master key to riches" and the famous "law of success in sixteen lessons" form the core of Spirituality. There is no argument about that. At every stage Napoleon hill has prophesied that before we can expect anything from God we need to give something back to the community. He was also a true practitioner of Spirituality from heart.
Spirituality definitely helps one take control of destiny. As we proceed on the path of pure Spirituality we tend to develop a positive approach towards life. Reeling all the time under a positive attitude of mind... One is able to fine-tune those critical aspects of life which are an absolute must if one needs to become the master of his own destiny.
Spirituality makes a perfect man out of a negative thinker. In the field of Spirituality there is no place for any negative thinking. One who has fixed a goal in life and always indulges in positive oriented thinking can not be a loser in life. It can never happen!
Spirituality imbibes the following virtues in a human being:
Spirituality makes you feel all the time that there is something higher than the mere existence as a human being.
Spirituality spells out that God exists within every living being as our soul (the atman within). It is God within us which guides us on the right path whenever we tend to go wrong.
Spirituality inculcates in every human being a feeling of positive ness all throughout. Floating on the positive mental plane brings one closer to our goal of life.
It is Spirituality and spirituality alone which prompts and guides one in the right direction whenever we feel cheated by the senses prevailing upon us. To be able to come out of the clutches of the five senses is what Spirituality is all about.
If we desire to know God truly then we need to follow the path of pure Spirituality. It is only as a true spiritual seeker shall we realize God one-day.
It is a Spirituality which cuts short the path and makes the whole world look like a family. In the spiritual domain there is no space for different religions, dogmas or creeds. Our wanton desires cease to exist... the moment Spirituality takes complete control over us!
Spirituality truly is the essence of life. However materialistic we maybe on the earthly plane... there shall come a day when Spirituality would completely wipe us clean of all the impurities within us.
Without Spirituality the life or a human being is like a rudderless boat going round and round in the unfathomable sea of life.
It is Spirituality which teaches every human being the real value of life... being spiritual is not being religious alone... Spirituality teaches us the core values of life... the real essence of us!
It is only through the medium of Spirituality that God is able to guide the mankind towards its destined goal. As many human beings... as many different spiritual paths!
Right from day one when we are born and until the last breath... it is Spirituality which keeps our heart pumping all through. It is Spirituality which clears all doubts that our soul (the atman within the body) is the real master and our body is but to decay and die.
Spirituality clears all doubts related to the concept of God. Whenever in doubt... the wise follow the dictates of the spiritual masters of the era! Every spiritual being merges his identity with the Supreme Being (the Almighty God).
Spirituality confirms that life has to go on... it is a journey to be completed in many phases (8.4 million manifestations in fact). It is Spirituality which confirms that the life of a human being of 70 to 80 years is but a trickle in the total life a span of our soul (the atman within). The total life span of the soul being a maximum of 96.4 million earthly years!
Spirituality has no relationship whatsoever with religion. Following a religion means following the dictates of a successful spiritual master... one who has already covered the journey and has become capable of guiding the mankind to its logical end.
Religion is meant for living a single span of earthly life. On the contrary Spirituality guides every living being to its logical end in the unending cosmic journey undertaken by the soul (our atman within).
It is Spirituality alone which removes the fear of death from those who have released the pinnacle of spiritual life. Spirituality gives you a commanding position in life. One can work for above 23 hours per day having gained absolute control over sleep. This is not only possible but can be observed by watching the topmost rung of spiritual masters.
The presence of Spirituality in our lives cannot be done away with for it forms the inner core of our manifested physical life. Behind every success lies the core of Spirituality which guides one inherently all throughout the cosmic journey.
In practice... when I started in search of God at an early age of 13 years... I was so confused about life that I thought it was only the religious masters who shall guide me on the right path. I was so wrong.
It was at the age of 37 that I came in contact with God one-to-one basis. It was the pinnacle of my spiritual pursuit. My life had come full circle. This was to be my last manifestation. I had reached the end of cosmic life. The distinction between Spirituality and religion were now absolutely clear to me.
Having been able to traverse the path as a true seeker of Spirituality and reach the end goal has been a really pleasant experience. Everything I try to convey to the community is based on true personal experience of life. Being my last sojourn on Mother Earth I have but to impart the pearls of Spirituality I have learned before I leave the mortal frame.
Spirituality is not to be practiced merely in theory. Spirituality is not contained in the sacred textbooks alone. We simultaneously need to practice pure Spirituality and try reaching the end of the cosmic life. Achieving salvation in the present life would be something every human being would desire.
Why not all of us practice pure Spirituality all the time!

Asking For Help
As a child and young adult I was very independent. Regardless of the situation, if I was doing something I was determined to do it myself and not ask for anyone's help. In my eyes asking for someone's help was akin to admitting defeat or somehow showing others that I was weak or incompetent. My attitude was "If someone else can do it, I can do it". How Naive.
Now I am a Father of two beautiful children. My daughter is wiser at 19 than I was at that age. If she is having difficulty with something she promptly asks for help and willingly accepts it. She's a lot like her mother in that regard. My son at 17 is a lot more like me; in his mind asking for help is a form of "giving in" and somehow shows him as weak. We had an incident this weekend which underscored his being a chip-off-the-old-block. He was in a drama performance at his high school on Friday night. After the performance many of the kids decided to go out for an after-performance snack. My son decided to go but got lost looking for the restaurant. He drove around for over an hour trying to find the place but didn't find it. He ended up coming home disappointed that he missed out on the social time.
The next morning, my wife and I talked to him about what happened. I asked him several times, "Why didn't you call us for help?" To him, that would have been a sign of weakness as he decided to forge ahead on his own without soliciting our assistance. We stressed to him the importance of asking for help, that asking for help is not a foolish thing; not asking for help when you really need it is foolish. As Cat Stevens sings in Cats in the Cradle "My boy's just like me; he's grown up just like me".
As PM's, there is plenty of times where the problems we face warrant us asking for help. Too often the cry for help either comes too late or not at all because the PM wants to try to work his way out of the jam without admitting he is over his head. Then there are times when the PM throws up the flare at the slightest hint of a problem and doesn't even try to solve a problem herself. She immediately dumps the problem at her boss' footstep expecting the boss to solve her problem for her. Either way the ask for help was inappropriately used by the PM.
My one nugget to you is this: when you get into a sticky situation on a project, don't be afraid to ask for help from others that have similar or more experience than you. Do a quick assessment of the problem, decide if you've got the experience to solve the problem on your own, then either move forward with solving the problem, ask for advice from a colleague on how they would handle the problem, or ask for help because the problem is bigger than you are. Going it alone just means that there may be a bigger mess to clean up later because the mole-hill you tried to fix yourself has grown into a mountain.

How to promote your travel blog posts
These are some of the things you can do to get back links
when you write a post on your blog on your travel blog. The idea is to get it
indexed by search engines as soon as possible. There is a lot of argument about
back links; it is said that, some are good and some can actually harm your
ranking. A backlink has more weightage if it’s coming from similar niches. But
then this is debatable. Google is putting more emphasis on social media meaning
that more it gets shared, the better it ranks.
1. First things first, ping it. If you are using Wordpress
then, then it is automatically done on ping-o-matic. There is a form in
Wordpress that allows you to enter all the places you want to ping your site
after publishing a blog post.
2. Submit your blog post URL on Twitter to let your
followers know that you have published something. Include some text; an URL on
its own does not look nice. Be creative with your limited allowance of words. Don’t
forget to use appropriate hastags such as #travel, #travelindia etc.
3. Send your blog URL to your Facebook for your friends to
read and comment on. There are lots of niche groups and pages you can join and
post your post but don’t spam them obviously.
4. You can also Digg your post. Make sure you write a good
description. The more thumbs up you have better the chances of being read by
more people.
— Bihar (@bihar) May 8, 2016
5. You can also submit to Stumbleupon. But remember quality
of traffic is pretty poor. The new algorithm states that, a longer a visitor
stays on your site, the better it is. Most people on Stumbleupon, really
Stumbleupon like mad. They move from one site to another like crazy.
6. Publish on Linkedin. There is a “share an update” box
that allows you to attach a link. Do it, don’t be shy.
7. Post on plurk, a social micro-blogging platform. But
remember they are no-follow. It’s just letting your followers know that you
have published.
8. Post on Apsense. It is a social networking site for business
owners, internet marketers and affiliates.
9. Post on Blog Engage. If your post is good then it gets
read by lot of people and will be promoted to the top page.
10. Go and post useful constructive comments on like minded
blogs (travel blogs that have commentluv plug enabled) and get some instant back links. Many blogs allow you to link to your
latest post. This blog allows you to choose from your previous posts and is
do-follow. So feel free to comment.
11. Post your link and a small description on Google Plus.
You can join travel related groups where you can post your travel photos and
blog post.
12. ScoopIt is another place where you can submit your blog
posts. Its content curation site where people share great content.
13. Don’t forget Pinterest. If you use this correctly then
you will get a lot of traffic to your travel site. The idea is to create boards
and post your images there. Don’t forget to share other people’s images onto
your own board.
Are these the things you are doing when you write a blog
post or do you just leave it at that? Feel free to comment. Please feel free to
share your thoughts as to what you doing when you publish a post. If you have
any more ideas, please do share them here. There are lots of other things you
can do to promote your brand or website for example guest posts, interviews,
podcasts and other link building strategies. We will talk about this in a different post.
