Master:-Learning spirituality doesn't mean one should become spiritual. It's a knowledge about the spiritual people and their perceptions.
Spiritual journey begins the moment one starts reducing his responsibilities.
Responsibility forces a person to get attached with the materialistic world.
Atleast at a particular stage, one should get relieved from his materialistic responsibilities. Time is required to convert one from materialistic to spiritual person. If one takes more time to shud down his responsibilities in life, he doesn't get enough time before death to get converted as spiritual person.
If spiritual knowledge is given in the earlier days itself, probably, everyone would have become a spiritual person. We think about spirituality only after taking sufficient responsibilities in our life. Then, shedding down becomes the greatest problem. Really speaking, fulfilling the materialistic responsibilities have nothing to do with spirituality. But it can help to start spiritual journey. Real benefits are to satisfy ourselves and the society.
Materialistic person also can become a spiritual person provided one must spend maximum time in spirituality and minimum time in materialistic activities. Spiritual practice is not only to gain peace but also to get converted as spiritual person. When spiritual power increases through spiritual practice, he starts rejecting the materialistic world gradually. Similarly, if one gets materialistic power (name, fame, money, position and power) he starts rejecting spirituality.
How a spiritual power converts an ordinary person as spiritual person, materialistic power also converts one as materialistic person.
Materialistic world ends the moment one leaves this mundane world but spirituality continues even after death. Pure materialistic people get disturbed in the Spiritual world where they have to stay after death till they take birth in this materialistic world. When one becomes spiritual person during his life in this materialistic world, he enjoys the stay in the Spiritual world after death. Becoming spiritual is a must for every person since he has to go to the spiritual world one day or other.
Investment of time in spirituality is to help one stay peacefully in the Spiritual world.
Abhyasi- As of now we are in materialistic world and practising spirituality.So how to reject responsibilities and get detached?
Master:- We have to fix one day in our life for a beginning of exclusive spiritual journey which can continue until death.
Mind must be clear from responsibilities. For a materialistic guy, it takes time to reach that condition.
Human life in this materialistic world is supposed to be 120 years. Generally, materialistic people will start their exclusive spiritual journey after 60 years. Celebration of Shashtyabdapoorthi is the symbolic representation for the beginning of spiritual journey expecting a longer life for spiritual journey. In between, one can attain jeevanmukhta condition at any time. After that death has no value for him.
Spirituality is a choice for every human being. It is upto them to utilise properly.
Master:- For a materialistic man, 4 stages are prescribed as Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. Educating one is the Dharma. Through the help of education, one has to earn money, ie Artha. One has to marry and produce children, ie. Kama, and one has to adopt the spirituality at last for Moksha. Spiritual journey is considered as the Moksha dari. Before entering into Moksha dari, one has to relinquish the connection with the materialistic world. Materialistic way of life becomes a hindrance in spiritual journey.
People have misunderstood about spirituality. Spirituality is the process of transforming one into the condition of spirit. Spirit means Aatma. Spirituality means trainig someone to Aatma sakshatkara.
Everyone becomes spirit after death either as positive or negative spirit. Negativity carried by someone will continue even after death. Negative spirits undergo lots of sufferings in the Spiritual world.
Spiritual practice is to remove the negativity that one carries from every births. Attaining spiritual power is to destroy the negativity in one's mind and become positive. One has to become maximum positive before death because positive spirits or souls never undergo sufferings in the Spiritual world.
Chivality is the advanced practice of spirituality. Power of Chivam destroys negativity in a person faster than spirituality.
Negativity indicates fear, anxiety and worries in a person. If these three negative conditions are reducing in a person, he is losing his negativity and one can think that his positivity is gradually increasing.
If these three things are removed completely in a person, he can claim that his positivity is realised. It's also called as poornatwa.
Such persons don't have negativity and also negative qualities. Attaining Complete positivity is called as Aham Brahmasmi, becoming Positive Aatma equivalent to brahmam. Aatma in a human body is the part of Brahmam which is available everywhere in the earth and surrounding. Since both are One, this principle is Advaita Siddhanta.
People who realised Aatma or Brahmam, goes to the brahmaloka, the brighter world after death. It's beyond the gravitational field of the earth. These persons are liberated souls.
