How spiritual practice helps materialistic people?
Actually speaking, our needs must be related to body only. But for ordinary people, mind needs entertainment, happiness, joy and so on. All these needs can be curtailed through a vibrant spiritual practice like Chivality. Today, materialistic people spend lots of money and time for fulfilling the mental needs. Through Chivality practice, the mind gets its own peace and automatically, the mind realises its original condition of no needs. Mind really needs only peace. Materialistic people don't know the need of the mind but try to fulfill with something else. Since the something else is temporary, they have to try one after another to maintain happiness, joy etc. Once anyone starts producing the peace within, it becomes permanent condition and the mind stops searching for happiness.
Creating the ultimate peace is the goal of spirituality or Chivality.
CHIVAM IS THE EMBODIMENT OF PEACE.
Commonly for people when asked which is better, nemmadhi or knowing the truth, they will choose nemmadhi. For them, it is easier to have faith in that which gives nemmadhi (even though it is temporary)rather than finding out the truth. This is not wrong.
This idea is found out by realised people only. Realised people said that God is there. But they didn't explain the truth further to everyone about what's not there is the God. Hiding the truth helped the non realised people to get temporary Nemmathi by believing that an existential God on the outside will take care of them and protect during difficulties.
When realised people tried to convince the people that, God is not existing outside but is within you existing as a non- existing energy - Nothing, they found that concept of nothing is not acceptable for ordinary people because they want something.
Wise realised people found that the stone is more stronger than anything, they convinced the common people that the Linga is the God and you can pray to God and it will fulfill your needs.
Wise men know the ultimate truth and never pray because they know that there is no God to fulfill their needs.
Wise men understood that nemmathi is the condition that the people need rather than God or truth. Therefore, faith in God is required for non realised people for their temporary Nimmathi. Only for those seeking the truth, who are in search of permanent nemmadhi, to those who have the capacity to realize the truth wise men explained fully the concept of God within.
When truth realization happens, the seeker goes beyond right and wrong, goes beyond getting nemmadhi from external source, and becomes nemadhi itself.
