The connection between human relationships and spirituality is soooo intricate and essential but its a shame no one and trust me no one wants to even begin knowing those angles. People at large believe spirituality is some sort of magic, yog is aerobics, pranayam, most don't know what to make of it and meditation is for the old and helpless.

Everytime I hear people speak of Yog-'a' or pranayam, I miss listening to the real reasons why people resume to any of it. Everytime I see a person do anulomb-vilomb incorrectly, everytime I see someone breathe through mouth or sit in an incorrect posture thinking its sidhhasan, I want to correct it. Not one says Yog benefits him spiritually, not one talks about pran and not a single one speaks of the benefits of Yog at a spirit level. And when the basis of why you do any of it is not clear, how on earth will you know in what way it is benefiting you. And if you don't know how it benefits you how will you see the changes inside you.

Some days I feel my blog should be dedicated to the study of human emotions because everyday there is so much to learn from ordinary life that if I sit down to talk about each of it at length, I will end up writing a thesis.

Everyday my focus shifts from love to anger to pretense to generosity and I try connect all of it to spirituality and try making sense of it all. What spirituality means and how being spiritual affects all the aspects of one's nature has always intrigued me. How asan practice combined with correct pranayam and regular meditation helps in bringing about subtle changes inside you is what I keep verifying within myself. And the more I verify things the more the surroundings seem unreal to me. The more are the reactions of people to their everyday situations appear exaggerated to me. The more people at large appear like escapists to me.

When a person is at peace with himself, when he stops proving to everyone around him what he wants to be and when a person accepts himself totally, the world around him automatically calibrates itself to his convenience. Is this even gyaan? Maybe for people who are too busy trying to fool themselves regarding everything they are incapable of doing, for them this might be some sort of spirituality.. well the good news is.. spirituality is nothing but this. Go ask any sadhvi, he will ask you too accept first and then work towards other things. And if there is acceptance, won't you automatically become more accomodating and if you are more accomodating wont you be more giving and if you are giving how can you not be happy? Its all a circle.. a big one.
