Religion as it is commonly practised is very outward looking ,it looks at everything outside of the looker. Spirituality though really it is the centre of religion yet it is very distinct from religion , spirituality keeps all these external business aside , spirituality says but before i look at anything, i have to ask who is looking? It looks at oneself.
Spirituality looks at oneself. Spirituality keeps all this external business aside. Spirituality says "But before I look at anything, I have to ask 'Who is looking?'" One can not be completely sure of anything. But there is one thing that you can be sure of - that if there is thought, there is a thinker. If there is suffering, there is a sufferer, that if there is a question, there is a questioner. You, you, this entity that asks, questions, listens, feels confused, falls, rises. This entity is the only thing you can ever be sure of. Having done all that you have been doing all your life, are you really at peace? Because that is the only thing that you want. If you are really at peace, do you really need to follow any religious practises? Do your beliefs really stand the scrutiny of time and circumstances. Spirituality does not live in stories. Spirituality is extremely rigorous. It says "Before I answer the question, may I please ask who is questioning?" It does not allow you to roam astray and talk about this and that, this planet, that planet, this seed, that food, this particular auspicious day, sun and moon and thousand other things. Spirituality has nothing to do with that.
For the creator to be there first of all there has to be the creation .Now you do not know for sure wheather even the creation exists at all or it exists in the way you think it does .So we do not know anything for sure, when we do not anything then we have to focus on the knower.👍👍👍
🔅Spirituality though really it is the centre of religion yet it is very distinct from religion. 🔅Spirituality looks at oneself and keeps all this external business aside, spirituality says before I look at anything, I have to ask who is looking. 🔅Before I say anything about anything, who is this 'I' that says anything? Is that not the first question? 🔅You cannot be sure of your thoughts and beliefs. But there is one that you can be sure of, that if there is thought, there is thinker, that if there is suffering there is sufferer, that if there is question, there is questioner. 🔅Religion is the circumference, the periphery that is supposed to gradually draw the religious one to spirituality but that is often not the case, one gets caught at the periphery, one remains at the circumference all his life. In fact one starts resisting the centre itself. 🔅Religion as it is commonly practised is very outward-looking. It looks at others, it looks at the past, it looks at practices and it says I will do all those things. It looks at particular books, it looks at everything outside of the looker. 🔅In India, if you are a really spiritual person then you will find that the community that opposes you the most is not of atheists, it is of religious people. 🔅The way religion was designed, it was designed to gradually make a person spiritual. Today these are not in sync or harmony with each other rather these two have become greatly separated. 🔅If you are at peace, do you really need to follow any religious practices? If you are joyful then the ultimate has already been achieved, then do you really need to remember and chant verses? 🔅In the moment of your crisis, does your religious practice really help you? Do your beliefs really stand the scrutiny of time and circumstances? 🔅Religious questions are based on very dubious assumptions, the spiritual approach is far more rigorous. 🔅When you do not know anything then we have to focus on the knower. Let me first look at the knower, correct him, liberate him, purify him, only then I am entitled to talk about anything else. 🔅Spirituality does not live in stories, spirituality is extremely rigorous. It is more scientific than science itself. It says wait, before I answer the question, may I please ask who is questioning. It starts from there.

It looks at oneself.
Spirituality looks at oneself. Spirituality keeps all this external business aside. Spirituality says "But before I look at anything, I have to ask 'Who is looking?'"
One can not be completely sure of anything.
But there is one thing that you can be sure of - that if there is thought, there is a thinker. If there is suffering, there is a sufferer, that if there is a question, there is a questioner.
You, you, this entity that asks, questions, listens, feels confused, falls, rises. This entity is the only thing you can ever be sure of.
Having done all that you have been doing all your life, are you really at peace?
Because that is the only thing that you want.
If you are really at peace, do you really need to follow any religious practises?
Do your beliefs really stand the scrutiny of time and circumstances.
Spirituality does not live in stories. Spirituality is extremely rigorous.
It says "Before I answer the question, may I please ask who is questioning?"
It does not allow you to roam astray and talk about this and that, this planet, that planet, this seed, that food, this particular auspicious day, sun and moon and thousand other things.
Spirituality has nothing to do with that.
Gracias Dararius Sir !!
Gratitude Acharya ji🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Spirituality is quite rigorous. There is no scope for entertainment. All you do is know your 'self'.
For the creator to be there first of all there has to be the creation .Now you do not know for sure wheather even the creation exists at all or it exists in the way you think it does .So we do not know anything for sure, when we do not anything then we have to focus on the knower.👍👍👍
Spirituality is the center of all religions and it see who seeing observer.. Thank you very much 🙏
