Query: Being Spiritual...
Kaivalya
Jnani:
Being spiritual means following the path towards God Almighty! Every
human being is primarily spiritual. The fact that the body of a human being does not belong to one cannot be
denied. It has been manifested by the spirit within... the soul atman residing within our
heart.
Our soul atman is the absolute owner of the body for the present
manifestation. Everything we do... the fruits of our karma always belong to the soul atman
within.
Having understood this essence of life that our body has been manifested
by the soul atman residing within our heart... and our soul atman in essence being spirit in nature
(spirit... because we cannot see it but only feel its presence)... many queries come to mind of human beings.
Who are we? Why our soul atman has manifested this body? What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of
being spiritual? And so on.
We may or may not believe in the theory of reincarnation... but the
absolute fact of the cosmic system that we primarily are a soul atman within the body cannot be negated by
one. The soul atman within manifests the body to work out its karma (to remove the impurities within)! It is
only then our soul atman shall regain its original pure pristine form.
When the soul atman regains its pure original pristine form... we
recognize the person as enlightened one. It is only after gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and
salvation (moksha) our soul atman liberates forever from the cycle of birth and death. No more body to
manifest... soul atman becomes free to go to the kingdom of God forever (aka Vaikunth in
Hinduism).
