Our suffering

When we are taking up a spiritual path, then we also have a tendency to suffer. Spiritual people also go through so many things, but their aim is not to contribute towards that suffering, and not to cause suffering to any other living beings. Those are their objectives.

As I have explained earlier, that in this world, we are all experiencing some degrees of suffering, because the fundamental nature of life also has suffering within it – ageing, disease, death…just to name a few fundamental things, which have nothing to do with externally created things.

Nature also has a lot of cruelty intent. In the animal kingdom one animal attacks another and so on and they are not free from suffering. So suffering is there in this world. Spirituality means that we are not aiming to add to this suffering, because isn't a word like 'salvation' found in all religious traditions? To relieve people from the suffering, is the objective and we are not going to contribute towards suffering. Then we say, that whatever suffering we are going through, then that is through previous choices and activities. So it is said that the living being came to this world in the first place, because he turned away from God!

The basis of spirituality

Although nowadays people see me and say:

"Go get a job!"

In other words go and do something useful. Or some say:

"Go and get married. Be normal. Why can't you be just normal and responsible……….and work…. be a productive citizen. A productive member of society".

But the truth of the matter is that, I think that my talk makes it clear when I say that spirituality is not some sort of a little thing on the side, but actually it is the very basis of a peaceful, happy and progressive society! Naturally I have chosen for the Vedic tradition, which I am representing. I have tried to speak in an open way, and more towards the common principles that exists in all spiritual traditions, and I have emphasised the value of it. On another occasion, we can talk about the differences, big traditions and what the whole topic is about, because maybe these differences exists here on our level, but maybe not from a divine perspective.

From here there are big differences: ' This tradition, that view, that tradition'. But if you look at it from a bigger context than actually from a divine perspective, then we are basically dealing with the same principles that are simply expressed differently in different cultures!
