Spiritual not Religious

A term perfectly coined for the likes of me even if it dawned on me only a few years ago.
I am certain that it calls out to each individual at some point in life due to the circumstances that prevail or out of plain curiosity. Either you choose to grow more aware of it or drift away from it..
No such view can ever be imposed, for one cannot practice what is enforced!

Bearing no disrespect to the agnostic, apathetic, religious or for that matter even the fanatics, those are the very concepts that elude me.
It was pointed out to me, that, If I am to be an individual on self discovery, I would be someone who is categorized as lost and confused with no definite direction or purpose to guide me..

It is to such people that I find my path difficult to define and justify for I have only made my humble spiritual beginnings.


All I can proclaim so far is that ..The more we seek to kindle our life spiritually, the more we are blessed with His graciousness.

Most times when I find myself in a quandary, the answer comes to me as well!

Be it from a book, a philosopher,a like minded soul or even an unexpected source!

oh nice to know you have started your, what seems to be a rather adventurous spiritual journey. but then how did you figure out its beginning at the first place? did you see a ray of light flashing behind a mountain or something..lol pardon my ignorance towards life. maybe I am just so confused :(

oh...would have loved to experience that.. unfortunately it wasn't dramatic ;)

dunno..probably a passion rather than ignorance towards life might solve ur confusion...

hey thanks for the advice. but then Ignorance is bliss, nahi? I think being passionate about something leads to ignorance, sometimes. oh well the whole thing is so complicated, hehehehe.
