The Silver Lining.
There is quite a popular saying that goes with life; they say that every dark cloud has a silver lining. What it simply means is that every bout of grief that life brings with itself has to it a sheen of happiness; a sheen of positivity. We humans as a collective, often fail to realize this and hence tend to look at life more pessimistically. However if we but try and look at it objectively, we would realize that life is indeed much more fair than we make it out to be…read more.
Mea Culpa
Nobody is perfect in this world. We humans as a collective are prone to mistakes. These mistakes are necessarily caused at times by our lack of morality, lack of judgment or simply due to a lack of empathy for our fellow human beings. In religious terminology, that mistake is termed as a sin; and as is the law of the nature, once you have committed the crime; you are automatically subjected to the repercussions. Through the documented history of the human existence, man has always tried to find a way in which he can escape the karmic law of nature; thus allowing him to keep a complete disregard for its rules and regulations. However he has failed miserably thus far…read more!
Keeping it Real.
Through our brief stint here on the last pilgrimage weblog, we have always tried and find ways to live life in a wholesome manner. We have always exhorted seekers to try new and innovative ways to ensure that they stay creative and productive in their way of life. Ultimately spirituality is nothing but an ideology that promotes and propagates an ideal lifestyle; at least that is what it accomplishes at the basic level. Going beyond, the realms of advanced spirituality know no boundaries. A fully evolved spiritual master indeed possesses more power and knowledge than what we can even imagine with our puny intellects…read more!
Desires and Contentment.
Man often lives his life in the pursuit of desire. It is the innate craving that he bears in his hearts that at times makes him willfully strive through the worst phases of his life. Indeed man’s desires dictate the course of his life. We often say that desires are something that should necessarily be overcome; that desires end up being the greatest hurdle in man’s eternal spiritual quest to be one with The Great One; however we often overlook the fact that indeed in the materialistic world, it is only desire that drives, sustains and accomplishes the dream…read more.
Being Divine.
Throughout our time, here on the last Pilgrimage weblog, we have discussed about spirituality as a means to reach out to the divine. We have discussed about spirituality as a means to reclaim the lost divinity within each and every one of us. However in the course of this entire journey, not once had we ever touched base on what divinity truly accomplishes. We never answered the question. What next? How would a seeker’s life be after being touched by divinity? Indeed how would a seeker’s life be once he made the transition from being simply human to being divine?…read more!
The Perfect Life.
Man is a splitting image of imperfection. Life is but a journey towards perfection. The aforementioned lines clearly reflect the true gist of life and its purpose in a simple way. However for the man that travels along the hard roads of life, this journey in itself seems to be an arduous task. As we live through life, we often feel that life gives us little chance to evolve; that life indeed gives us little chance to progress as individuals. What we indeed find is that the better part of our life is spent in trying to find ways to sustain ourselves; in trying to find ways to make a living. In many ways life hardly seems to be the party that it is made out to be in the youth…read more!
