Spirituality Simplified

As I said before, the soul is invisible, very subtle, cannot be seen by the eyes or even under a microscope. It is tinier than an atom. It is believed in Rajyog that a soul is as tiny as the tip of a needle but still has memories of several lifetimes stored in it. The soul has invincible features which never get destroyed because it is indestructible.

A soul has no form but is often pictured star-like because a human mind cannot imagine anything formless. Hence to make it adaptable to the human mind this formless energy is often described as a point of light. But in the true sense it is just energy.  A soul has no gender; it gets a gender when it inserts in a body. The soul can only be felt just like one can feel the air, warmth, heat, love etc. The soul has not been proven yet by science geeks so there are numerous theories related to its existence. 

Now, as I embark on my spiritual journey, I've encountered simplified definitions that are not only meaningful but also worth exploring. According to Rajyog spirituality, Ego is defined as "an attachment to a wrongful image of self," whether it be a superior or inferior image. This definition may sound straightforward, and I'll explain it further.

“AN ATTACHMENT TO A WRONGFUL IMAGE OF SELF”

(Superior or inferior)

As simple as said. Not at all mind boggling if you are wondering how then here is my explanation.

First body

Then name

Then family

Then relationships

Then achievements

Possessions

Properties and list goes on...

Attachment is very similar to greed but is often mistaken for love and care. It is defined as an emotional bond with a thing, a person or possession. Attachment in reality is like an obsession where the mind thinks the person, situation or the object is in my control.

I possess that thing and try to hold it tight just like sand in my fist. Love and attachment seem pretty interconnected, but they are distinctly different. ... The major difference is that love is a feeling directed toward the “other” (person, place or thing), while attachment is a self-centered—meaning based on fulfilling your need.

It is mainly an insecurity of the human mind. Where one wants to owe or possess the other thing or person but is constantly scared of losing it

In today's episode I will talk about greed. Greed is a very subtle vice and is hidden under many layers of our consciousness . Greed is hidden so well in our minds that its realization is hard to accept. So let's see what Greed is and how it is invisible to many of us. 

Greed can be defined as an intense and excessive craving for resources, particularly wealth-related assets like money, real estate, or other symbols of affluence. This impossible to never satisfy desire revolves around accumulating as much as possible, with no intention of spending or utilizing these resources. Greed is a potent negative emotion that tends to manifest later in a person's life, but its symptoms can often be observed during childhood.

What makes us angry? 

Studies say many things can trigger anger like stress,tension, anxiety, family problems, and financial issues, broken relationships, personality traits, or victim feelings. For some people, anger is caused by an underlying disorder, such as alcoholism or depression or any other psychosomatic diseases. In modern ages anger itself isn’t considered a disorder, but anger is a known symptom of several mental health conditions.  

What Spirituality taught me is that when I am not able to use my inner peace to hear out the other person rationally I get angry. I want to prove myself right and the other person wrong. I am weak and faraway from my original quality of peace. My anger is more dominant than my inner self and I let it win. The conflict is mainly that I am not able to make the other person understand what I want them to do, so I am mad/ furious. Very interestingly, the anger here is for my own self because I am not able to put across my point in the manner I want hence I shout at the others to understand me. This clash makes both sides irrational and ignites anger. 

Many religious texts, not just the Bible, warn against the harmful effects of lust, seeing it as a root cause of worldly problems. Giving in to lust is believed to lead to humanity's downfall and is seen as a sin against the divine. The Bible also cautions against sexual immorality, emphasizing that it affects the very core of our being. It reminds us that worldly temptations are not from a divine source but come from the material world.

In some religious stories, like in Genesis, Adam and Eve lived harmoniously in paradise but were forbidden from eating fruit from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden. Their disobedience led to their expulsion from paradise. The significance of this story is often left unquestioned.

Today I will talk about Invisible sins, a word which is seldom heard in everyday conversations. What are sins and how do they get embedded in human minds is still a mystery which is unresolved. I too was unaware of this word till I started learning Rajyog. 

A sin is a practice, behavior, or habit generally considered wrong in the associated society. In more minor usage, sin can refer to a fault, a negative character trait, a defect, an infirmity, or a bad or unhealthy habit. Sins are the  acquired human  characteristics but do these vices really weaken the inner power of our soul ? Or does it come in between and erase the beauty of our inner self leaving it shallow and ugly? What are these things which darkens the inner shine of self and blocks it's lighted road?
