SPIRITUALITY NOW ON SALE

SPIRITUALITY NOW ON SALE: BE ON ALERT

Have you ever heard of this? Will you ever believe it? Yes it is indeed quite true-Spirituality is now available for buying and only the thing is its DESIRED EFFECTS and GOOD RESULTS are unguaranteed as these are suppressed and unrevealed to the prospective buyers. May be for many of the readers it sounds funny and unbelievable and for a few, it may not be even be acceptable-but one thing is sure, at the end of this reading you will agree with me and accept all the facts contained in this article to be accepted in its totality- Real scenario linked personal experience is the best master than what you hear otherwise and through other unreliable sources.

I had been keenly observing this sale trend for quite some time, under different attractive names, banners, terminologies etc and it truly appears that market is picking up very well globally. It will not be surprising that if some of these banners (with brand image & equity) might even opt for an IPO with premium to lure number of IDIOTS (I mean):-

Ignorant ones
Deluded ones
Innocent ones
Obstinate ones
Timid ones
Stagnant ones
It’s all just because people are loosing faith in themselves, their ability, capacity, strength, will power and confidence, instead relying on the so called spiritual Icons, may be called as spiritual vendors assisted by spiritual brokers.

While God worship is universally accepted by all faiths according to the faiths rituals and principles, it should not be misused under the banners and influence of spiritual icons & vendors. While one has every right to pray and worship God, it necessarily doesn’t require directions and instructions from spiritual vendors and brokers- herein I don’t deny spiritual guidance from right sources for gratis and not be traded for monitory gains from the seekers by those who guide . As a matter of fact seekers of spiritual guidance should approach the guidance providers on their own and what we see today is wide publicity from the so called spiritual leaders through print and visual media luring people to multiply their business and amass fortune. There is a saying and firm belief that at the appropriate time a true spiritual master will come to your life (need not be physically) rightly for guidance and teachings and one has to patiently wait and follow the right and righteous path of living, rather than wandering behind above referred icons..

Kindly be very clear in your mind. You have to worship and pray to yield benefit and if some one else does it on your behalf it will have zero effect- as you have to eat when you feel hungry and you have to drink water to quench your thirst and no one else can do these for you to satisfy your hunger and quench your thirst. For the so called spiritual leaders attracting and luring people, please bear in mind- it’s their way of living and lively hood and many of them make it so luxurious at the cost of spiritual seekers. Truly speaking and as per ancient writings and theories, spiritual knowledge and guidance is to be imparted to the seekers free of charge without anticipating anything in return and the seeker in turn has to render services to the master, upkeep of the hermitage and its surroundings. whereas in today’s scenario one has to cough up hefty sums to to the spiritual leaders and shell out in kind expensively. What an agony and innocence to the seeker and boon and gain to the so called spiritual leaders.

In ancient times, Rishis, Yogis & saints who used to impart spiritual guidance and teachings used to live in hermitage and lead a most simple life with barest minimum needs. On the contrary to-day the spiritual leader’s hermitages have been made with luxurious infrastructure with cozy and comfortable living and dining facilities with star ratings. The spiritual leaders being caught and booked under various offences and crimes, following unethical practices and misconduct, need not be emphasized as many of you must be reading through print media and watching through visual media of these happenings. These lots put us to shame and indignity-Think for a mom what a fate (we only can, jointly, change this trend not to grow any further.)

My dear friends every one of you, by the grace of God, have with in you lot of potential, initiative, drive, enthusiasm, energy and divinity embedded with in you when you came to this world and do not depend on some else to tap these to bring it out, Do it by yourself to bring out all these righteous qualities embedded in you and be a divine master by yourself one day and impart the values of spirituality free to the seekers. Let’s not encourage spirituality to become a tradable and marketable commodity.

My dear friends & readers BEWARE, AWARE and be CAUTIOUS and do not get trapped yourself into the spirituality buying stream in the name of learning and knowing spirituality-please do not try to buy what you have already within you , instead bring it out in the right manner and righteous way, and never ever try to BUY SPIRITUALITY.

This article is no way intended to hurt any ones sentiments or inner feelings and being written without any prejudice whatsoever.


May God be with you all, to protect, grace and bless you all always?
