Spirituality is a universal and timeless way of life. People say that of santana. The basis I think is spirituality. It is a pragmatic ideal. Hence can be practiced anytime by anybody.
The most fundamental premise. Treat others as you want others to treat you. Nothing unreasonable in it. If not get ready to be treated by others in a way you treat others. Not unreasonable.It is very easy to practice if you want to be reasonable.
Everything about spirituality will be understood if you practice the above maxim. But there are real problems which I want to point out. Inner enemies which act through the vulnerabilities of the body.
The best and also the only permanent way to counter is to drive away the inner enemies. The real.pressure and temptation they cause snd make you conform to what you are not. The greatest handle is to feign conformity with society that is going rotten and be oneself inside. That helps you from the fear of rejection and isolation. The important thing to remember is to have the firmest inner resolve to be independent. Make it as a fun exercise. Keep talking to yourself that you won't get swayed really. In isolation develop desirable habits and behaviour
At some point you inner independence gets strengthened and takes over truly. You can genuinely handle peer pressure and feel really free and not need any bad association to feel sufficient. Once your emotions are handled the inner enemies disappear.. The body stops reacting to pressure and temptations.
Remember the greatest talent and the most intelligent thing to be doing is not in cracking jee or winning Nobel prize but in being in control of yourself. As the old saying effectively goes when you are in control of self you are in control of the world. Conversely even when you are in control of the world you may not be in real control if inner enemies hover around.
Spiritual way of life raises the quality of living several notches in addition to actually creating a very healthy body. So dont get pressured and influenced by things that give momentary happiness or pleasure but remember to make all your moments happy effortlessly. That starts with the belief in the maxim I stated at the beginning. Treat others as you want others to treat you.
You will start enjoying and having fun with your good habits.

The best way to anchor in your developing good beliefs is to tell yourself that nothing greater than trying to be righteous. Those you try to mock you or distract you are operating at a much lower level of intellect sland so.move on. As a useful counter you can inwardly mock them for their ignorance.
Enjoy your good habits

Spiritual nuggets
When you disagree with people see if you are reasonable and if the other is not. The best reaction then is to be not affected by that. The point of disagreement itself may not matter as much as your reaction to it. You will also spontaneously do the right thing.
This can come only with effort.

Nugget 2
Vested Entrenched institutionalized selfish interests are the toughest to counter. That's what we are witnessing in today's world. As one major counter principle, aim at countering their weakness of exploiting weakness and flaws. This may require an institutionalized response of its own.

We are extremely adept in making life difficult for ourselves. From the early childhood itself we are exposed to reality of competition which begins to create an undeniable tension in our mind and robs the quality of life when ideally that should be the stage when cooperativeness should be inculcated. The latter actually will raise the mental experiences to a positive one which sowing the seeds of harmony in society.
Further down the life comes the brutal truths of marriage and career brutal mainly because we are expected to project aggressive and combative qualities and sustain them. Actually this should be the stage of consolidating the cooperative qualities which ideally we should be learning in childhood and working together for the benefit of both ourselves and the society. But the selfishness continues for the rest of our lives. The old age is also not pleasant as we are invariably left to fend for ourselves and are seen as a burden to children in the reality we created.
It is amazing and eludes understanding why did we create such harsh realities for ourselves when we could have created a much more pleasant one. Yes we have flaws but given the desirability of avoiding brutal realities we could put whatever efforts it took to create systems that facilitate harmony than disharmony
Think about it. it is more than worth the time and efforts put in.
