How Do You Know if You Are Spiritually Enlightened
Our levels of spirituality matter a lot
when it comes to the general growth of the entire body. Basically, spirituality
mainly involves religious beliefs and practices that we involve ourselves in.
Sadly, many people tend to ignore this part of their lives. They concentrate
more on their physical selves and forget that the inner self matters most. Such
individuals spend about two hours in the gym on a daily basis but cannot find
at least an hour to meditate and build their spiritual selves. It is good to
live healthily but not at the expense of your inner self. At the end of it all,
such individuals end up without even the slightest bit of spiritual
enlightenment. Sorry to say this, but living such a life is not worth it.
Living without spiritual enlightenment is
just like the story of Rip Van Winkle. This was a Dutch American man that lived
in the days when Great Britain
had colonized America .
Van Winkle did not like working, all he did was play. One day, he decided to
walk towards the Mountainous area of New
York . On his way, he met the ghost of Henry Hudson
together with his mates. They sat down and began drinking their brew. Within no
time, Rip Van Winkle had passed pout and amazingly woke up after 20 years. To
him, everything had changed.
Individuals who ignore their spiritual
side are just like Van Winkle; they are asleep. Not in the literal sense but in
the spiritual sense. They are spiritually asleep and unless someone woke them
up, they will wake up when it is too late. Most of you must be wondering
whether or not they are in this group. It is quite simple to know this. All it
takes is for you to analyze yourself in particular sectors and you will know
just how spiritually enlightened you are.
Step
number one is in knowing just how spiritually enlightened or awake you are. This
is done by checking if you are aware of the inner realities of the spiritual
realm that are surrounding you. Secondly, try and gain sight of the activities
being carried out by forces of the spiritual world around you. Finally, behave
in a spiritual manner and make the world around you a better place to live in.
If you are in a position to do all these things, then it is guaranteed that you
are not only spiritually awake but also enlightened. If not, then you are still
in the Van Winkle mode; wake up!
