Leading A Spiritual Life
are in earnest about wanting to achieve spirituality, you
have no option but to rediscover your core personality
by divesting yourself of these layers. Once you have done
so, you will find sincerity. And, where there is sincerity,
there is spirituality. Sincerity and spirituality go hand in
hand. Sincerity is like the seed and spirituality its fruit.
Spirituality is the feature in all human beings that
is most to be desired. It makes life meaningful in that
it spurs you on to lead a purposeful life. It enables
you to live with normalcy of mind even in abnormal
circumstances. It saves you from wasting your time and
energy on frivolous pursuits, thus ensuring that you
become a healthy member of society. Spirituality is so
precious that one must be prepared to pay any price for
it, no matter how high. It is a goal worthy of attainment.
But this can be achieved only by making sincere efforts.
No one can achieve spirituality automatically.
Every person is born twice. The first birth is the
physical one, in which his parents are instrumental.
The second is his spiritual birth, which a person attains
by his own efforts.
