Be Spiritual Live A Complacent Life

Recommended Posts

Being spiritual is an amazing experience and only a person who is practicing spirituality in his or her life. One can witness such an experience by performing meditation regularly. Generally meditation comes easily to a person as it is a natural process taking you closer to your soul. But there are people who find it difficult to practice meditation using normal ways. For these people Osho, a great spiritual guru from India, has designed special techniques of meditation. These meditation techniques do not require a person to stay in a stationary position. He or she is allowed to move their body in different position, sing, laugh and dance on their way to spiritual enlightenment.

This is the reason why Osho has so many followers not only in India but in all parts of the world. When you feel that you are closer to your soul everything in this world appears so beautiful to you. You begin to behave in a positive and healthier manner. You become more generous and helpful in nature and perform better in your work. Thus, if you are seeking such a complacent life join Osho's courses of group meditation today.

If having a complacent life makes one more spiritual, the whole content of America has reached Nirvana by now.Meditation, or even just sitting at peace is a good thing though. I'm learning to do it more as a discipline.

True! Meditation is the key to spirituality, but it is hard to come to the level where you get to feel the real meditation. Our mind is always filled with countless things which are part of our everyday life. They are outside us, they are inside as well, and this web is so strong that we can not break it free. We are entangled in what we call this world, things we feel are ours turn out to be disjoint with our real happiness. Root cause? everything around is so much associated with our selfs that we are just a part of whole this net. So if you seek spirituality you will have to become detached with all this worldly feelings. You will have to come to a level where you do not seek for peace outside but you seek it inside your heart...That is where meditation comes into picture. Meditation is an effective tool to realize this peace.

I agree. Complacency is not a good way to attaining peace. I am not here to write against Osho or his practices, but to me, commonsense suggests that being spiritual is anything but being complacent. If one were to truly be complacent, why would he seek spirituality in the first place? A soul remembers it's long lost Love, it's Bliss and the underlying unity, it becomes bored of the anguishing monotony of life and hopes to regain the lost glory and happiness, which is what the path of spirituality is about. There are many complacent couch potatoes in the world to whom earning money, paying the bills, watching TV and going to sleep is a way of life. I couldn't find any more complacent people like that and they are not progressing spiritually!Meditation is a technique that demands our attention and our concentration. Would you be able to drink milk while you're running at a fast pace, no matter how sweet the milk is? You wouldn't! It is the same with meditation. We cannot expect to find peace within ourselves if we use something outside ourself as a place of solace. The concept of singing, dancing,etc. is to prepare the mind and body to go inward, because it is accustomed to being outside and play along with the five senses. You cannot suddenly hit brakes on a bike that is going at 100kmph, can you? You would decrease the speed and come to a safe speed where you can hit the brakes without falling down. It is the same with our minds. Unless you are a master, you cannot expect to be extremely busy and creative with the mind, and then go into a state of meditation as soon as you sit down. Hence, our ancients have devised means of singing and dancing to God, so that the meaning of these practices take us deep inside and finally the mind feels like it has to meditate.As for many people doing this, it cannot be a good way of choosing a spiritual path. There were many people who believed that the earth was flat and that didn't make it so! You could have a strong belief that electricity does not exist, but when you touch a live wire, you would get a shock. There are fundamental facts and rules to this universe that have nothing to do with beliefs and the number of people who follow or disbelieve and disagree. They simply are. Truth simply IS. We just ARE. The awareness of spiritual heights is something that can only be percieved after reaching there. We can see in daily life the amount of energy required to even get a degree, a job or make a relationship work. We don't simply sit in a couch and sing away to all these achievement, we put out energy and time and make them happen. Spirituality is a similar thing, only demanding much, much more. So, being complacent is counterproductive to spirituality. Although, I love first part of this topic: BE SPIRITUAL! :lol: cheers
