Spirituality is what we do with our desire or dis-ease – it is what we do with our longings and it is the focus of our yearnings. It is where and to whom we are driven. Spiritual life teaches us to live a happy and dynamic life at large scale in all the circumstances of the life. None can get the complete and real peace in their life without spiritual life. So it is essential to start the spiritual life for the complete peace of the body and mind.
Unfortunately, the most of people in our society are having the two misconceptions about the spiritual life. First, the spiritual life is a retirement program what it is just opposite to the meaning of spiritual life. The people generally think; you should go for the spiritual life when your tooth has been fallen, your eyes can not see anything, you can not do anything , you are nothing more than a moving statue and there are only few years remaining in your life, then you should go and learn how to live a “dynamic life”. Let us analyze how the spiritual life is not a retirement program at all. Suppose there is a cancer patient and he goes in last stage of his disease to consult a great doctor. Do you think any doctor can do something for such type of patient? Of course no, he can not do anything. No matter how the expert he is. For the same reason what is the point to go for the spiritual life at the last stage our life. The knowledge of the spiritual life should be given at the age of 5 year.
Second, to start a spiritual life means to give up everything which is also not true. It is another misconception about the spiritual life. It is not written anywhere that you have to discard everything from your life for the spiritual life. There is no need to change your hair-style, no need to change the color of your dress (you should not have saffron color) and there is no need to have a long hair and beard. You live your life in the same way how you like it.
Finally, we must remove these two misconceptions from our head to understand the real spiritual life. It is a meditative work for the mind and body.
