Being Human versus Being Spiritual
There is confusion among people who choose to become spiritual ,how and when to distinguish between being Human versus Being Spiritual. I will explain this with a real life example.
Let us assume that you are walking by the side walk and find a Frail old women begging for Food and money Most of you will either ignore or drop a coin in sympathy, lets assume you drop a coin. Then you think you have done your part and go past that person to come across a injured pigeon. Dropping a coin or sympathazing wouldn't have helped the suffering bird, but you drop your ego and bend down to see why is the bird suffering (provided you don't have a Chronic back pain ..smile). If you have found the root cause like a broken limb, probably you can take it to your home and plaster it . I guess many of us don't have time to do both. Lets' assume a street dog walks by the same path, he sees the same old women , he tries to smell if she has any food and it will keep walking away. It again comes across the same bird which we walked past and smells to see to see if it is suffering from injury.The hungry dog will try to grab and run with the injured bird making it the afternoon meal.
Comparing the Scenario above, if he we had dropped money to the old Lady and helped the bird with the injury , then we are compassionate enough to have expressed the fundamentals of Humanity and worth this Human Life. With the same scenario if you have helped the Old lady to join a Old age home and carry the Bird to the Vet it needs something beyond your Humanity to spend time and effort on it. That is what i call spiritual elevation and you are on your right path to spirituality.
Why is our act differently measured in the above scenario ?
If you have just reacted by giving a temporary solution as in dropping a coin and attending to injury, you are expressing the natural character inborn in all Human Life. To feel the pain of somebody unknown and seeking a permanent solution to their problem needs your soul connect with other souls around you and feel their pain. It is similar to how a Man feels when the Women he loves is suffering in disease or Injury, a parent who feels when his children are hurt, while playing or a animal lover who feels for his injured Pet.
To conclude If you can connect only with the ones you love , that is a typical Human behavior, If you connect with the unknown and fell their pain it is true sense of Spiritual Elevation. Either Way you leave your footprints of your soul with others , it is up-to you to remain just a Good Human or elevate yourself to being Spiritual being. I would try to be at-least be the first One ,before i become the second one. If we haven't done both, then we won't need to be Re-born as a Human being to continue our Soul's Journey.
This thought is the core to create my current and future Books.
