To call oneself a skeptic is respectable and fashionable. Healthy skepticism is fine. But there is no such thing as that now. I believe vested interests have systematically destroyed the finer thinking among people and so what is allowed and encouraged is only twisted and perverted thinking. Yes the torch bearers of values talk very nice words but do their thoughts support them ? Actually outward nicety is also becoming less and less fashionable. You can bare your teeth and attack with little consequences if you are on the right side of the wrong.
Sravna,
I feel spirituality is about understanding and accepting that no human is the clone of the other in terms of their mindset.
Many a times people focus on their views.
Let me give you an example.
I know a person who is on weekly blood transfusion at a very old age and willing to go through it because he wants to live.
Another person I know told me that she prefers to die and not let so many different peoples blood flow through her veins as its "unclean"
Ok..both are spiritual people..one is viewing the blood as a blessing but the other is seeing it as unclean.
The one who needs the blood to survive sees it as a blessing..the one who doesnt need the blood sees it as unclean.
Do you get what I mean?
Our perception is shaped by our needs.
You might be viewing life through different lenses hence you find other views as more worldly.
The one whose needs are worldy do not align with spiritual views.
Its just that..even spirituality itself is a different shade of desire.
We cant shape everyone to be like us..we as humans have to accept that everyone differs.
Spirituality is about being a seer..one who sees.
What does a seer see?
He sees diversity..does diversity trouble his mind?
No.
