How To Become Spiritual?

Knowing how your life energies, mind, emotions and body work allows you to do things that are generally thought to be impossible. This is the basic argument why we all should become spiritual. But becoming spiritual is not as easy as it needs a very dedicated, consistent and unhindered level of awareness or consciousness. So, how can this be achieved? How can we actually become spiritual?

There are many ways to do this.

Ways To Become Spiritual

The first and the foremost step would be to lower down your use of physical comforts. Under this, you should be doing things like – walk more often instead of using your bike or car, learn to live on a small amount of money that is just enough to take care of your basic needs like food & clothing, minimize the use of your cell-phone, etc. This way is more to do with creating the right environment for spirituality rather than creating spirituality within you. It is like a pre-requisite. This is because spirituality can never take place in the presence of too much of materialism.

The second step is to spend some lone time in a day to begin with. Do it for as many minutes or hours you can without feeling too restless or vulnerable. You don’t need to go to a mountain for this. A quiet, peaceful and empty room would do. You can even visit natural places like big parks, botanical gardens, etc with not many people around. In such a place, you would naturally try to understand how your thoughts and emotions take shape, what are their sources and why do they even get created? You will ponder upon the issues going on in your life and would try to come out with their solutions. You will have a better understanding and management of yourself if you spend this lone time everyday, taking you closer to spirituality.

The third thing you can do to become spiritual is to talk less! You must have heard that people who are smart, talk less. It’s the other way round too! This is because when you talk less you observe more and better. You are able to process and analyze things and people much faster and clearer! Nothing can miss your eyes and ears. Also, when you talk less, your actions become more penetrative and exact, in a way making you a perfectionist! This naturally makes you someone who understands himself really well.

The next way is the most famous one and also the most misunderstood one. It is Meditation! People do many things in the name of meditation and land up in mental asylums. In the western countries, meditation has just one meaning but in India there are many types of Meditation. To uncomplicate things here, I would suggest a very simple way of meditating. Just sit down in the ‘Dhyan’ position with your eyes closed and remain in this position without falling asleep! Let thoughts come and go without you stopping or opening them!  This will help you observe your mind & body in the best possible way.

Reading and writing is another way to become spiritual. This is because, in order to read or write you need to know yourself really well. So, you should develop the habit of reading daily. You can read any subject of your choice but you should ensure that it is a bit challenging for you to understand. You can also pick a spiritual book if you want!

Ways To Become Spiritual

The last way is to try doing something you think is impossible, everyday! Only a spiritual and liberated being can perform what he thinks is impossible! Hence, you should try facing your worst fears on a daily basis until they fade away. Doing this would not only increase your abilities but would also give you clarity as to how to overcome your fears. I know facing our worst fears is not an easy task but believe me, if you are following the other ways of ‘becoming spiritual’ well, you will not be afraid before doing this one!

After becoming spiritual you won’t become a superhuman, but would realize that being human itself is super!
