9 Solid Reasons Why You Should Become Spiritual.
True spirituality creates people who believe in compassion for all other souls considering all as equal and only God as superior to all. It also teaches humbleness and positivity. Inculcating such divine qualities in kids from an early age ensures a human being in making with positivity not only inside but also in his surroundings.
- Purpose of Life: Spirituality, as the shastras say is the Natural Property of a living entity and serves the only purpose of this human form of life
- Mindfulness: Spiritual practice provides mindfulness and keeps us emotionally and mentally fit.
- Compassion: Spirituality, of course, teaches compassion for other living beings. Hence helps us achieve peace and harmony among ourselves leading to a safe and secure place for all of us. Every living being will live their lives in peace without fear of being attacked in any form and hence fewer greenhouse effects.
- Creativity: People involved in Temple programs are likely to be more creative as they are consistently involved in various extracurricular activities during different festivals and other occasions. Kids involved in such communities also get more chances for developing leadership, managerial and other skills which pay them off later in life.
- Humbleness: Due to involvement in fund collection etc. they gradually learn how to stay humble in the most offensive conversations ever.
- Teamwork: Working with people helps in developing teamwork skills.
- Mental Health: You must have heard a lot of times that when all therapies fail then even the atheists turn towards god. Spirituality is helpful for physical as well as mental health. A research-based article from a popular online magazine, Psychology Today, mentioned that, in situations where all psychological therapies fail, then enter spirituality. This is so true. Because all other therapies work on a trial basis. And these are the external cure for external wounds,i.e., wounds based on relationships or other types of human interactions. But if you are wounded to the level of the soul then only soul-based therapy can heal it. I know many people who have been slightly religious or sometimes atheists all their lives but when life knocked them down completely then they took shelter of God.
- Sense of duties with detachment: What would be the extent of pleasure in living with the freedom of being able to deliver all our duties (in personal and professional relationships, society, other living beings) without feeling attached. So much satisfaction and peace on both sides. A life with no drama and no negativity.
- Addiction: In Kaliyuga we all are so prone to various negatives faces of life like drugs, unsafe sex, negative love life, career, failures, bad company, etc Human brain, especially at a young age is very curious, the body is full of energy and the heart is full of emotions. People who are sincerely involved in spiritual activities are reported to have comparatively better control over themselves in any stage of life. The reasons for the same are many, lack of opportunities, lack of time, mindfulness, knowledge, the association of positive and mentally strong people, a different way of and a deep level of thinking, etc.
People involved in true spirituality are however completely opposite of people who are religious for selfish purposes. This post does not advocate wrong teachings of religiousness like thinking of oneself as different from people of other religions, thinking that different religions have different gods, hating other belief systems and pointing flaws in them, spreading communal hatred, etc.
