EXPERT OPINION
By Maruthai Ravindhiran
Everyone desires to lead a joyful life. The recent economic crisis and subsequent consequences have eluded happiness, joyous and peaceful moments due to struggles faced by humanity the world over. The future seems to be bleak for people’s lives.
Hence, happiness has become obsolete and joyous living has become a distant dream for us.
Yet, we are eagerly waiting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
THINK POSITIVE – THE WAY FORWARD
In my humble opinion, words expressed by a person have a positive or negative vibration and power.
If the majority is thinking negatively and expressing negative emotions and opinions then perhaps it will adversely affect the country in terms of Peace and Prosperity.
Hence, we must always have a principle in our lives to have positive thinking and possess a positive attitude besides values for our lives. This principle will equip us to meet and overcome adversities, hurdles, obstacles and multiple problems, changes and challenges ahead of us, more confidently and successfully.
This in turn will invoke God’s plan, mercy and abundant blessings for our lives.
RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL LIFE
As per the religious belief, we must have implicit faith in God, destiny and self, in that order.
In my humble opinion, Spiritual belief and spiritual life will mould and craft you to have implicit faith in you, your destiny and God, in that order.
Both beliefs are essential for our lives as without passing the religious life, it is arduous to step into spiritual life.
If you practice the values of religious life, you will be happy and when you follow the spiritual life correctly it will give you joy and peace in particular inner peace besides happiness in your life.
As you become older and older you need to increase and improve the quality and quantitative aspects of practicing your religious and spiritual beliefs and lives and ultimately and eventually “realising God” through “realising your inner-selves”.
This means those who want to lead a life full of joy, serenity, fulfilment, tranquillity, wisdom and holistic life should realise that spiritual life will immensely help you to reach the above-mentioned goals and your religious beliefs and life are the stepping stones to leading a successful spiritual life.
HOW TO PRAY TO GOD
An individual cannot single-handedly halt the hurricane waves and floods, but a group of people collectively can build bridges beforehand to save people and properties.
Similarly one should not pray to God for personal gains rather collectively pray for God’s mercy and love for the betterment of all people, nations and the globe. In this way, as God’s servants, we will be working and fulfilling God’s plans for us.
Hence, be religious and spiritual in your lives and bring glory to God.
Pray to God to dispel the “inner and outer darkness” from our lives and be prepared to witness new horizons in our lives by fully surrendering ourselves to God.
MATERIALISTIC LIFE Vs SPIRITUAL LIFE
Materialistic life is like climbing the staircase with heavy pieces of luggage. It is a very tiring journey. You will face a lot of hardships, disappointments and failures and feel sad, stressed anxious, depressed, greedy and desperate to succeed in life and fail miserably.
In contrary,
Spiritual life is like unloading your heavy items of luggage like cravings, greed, lust, pride, vanity, and jealousy and walking down the staircase, freely.
Spiritual life does not mean that you have to give up everything in life including your wealth.
In my humble opinion, “it is possible to lead a spiritual life while having wealth, as long as the wealth is managed responsibly and used to contribute positively to oneself and others, rather than becoming a primary focus or source of attachment”.
“The key is to maintain a balanced perspective and not let material possessions overshadow spiritual values”.
By looking at the way most people behave in this world, one may start his spiritual life at the age of twenty.
Even if you are in your mid-life, it is not too late to start your spiritual journey thereby realising your inner-self.
It is the best way to prepare for your next journey successfully.
CONCLUSION
“Let us prepare for our spiritual journey, where we embark on a path that illuminates the potential within each of us”.
Be religious and spiritually uplifted in life and contribute meaningfully to the success of your school, family, society, Motherland and universe and make our creator proud of us.
Hence, let us work towards fulfilling God’s Plan for our life.
Let us all together pray to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
May tomorrow’s rising Sun bring us rays of hope, peace, success, prosperity, divine grace and joyous living.
