It's a beautiful day! Quiet the mind, open the heart and relax your being. Walking the enlightened path is not the same as the temporal path; a path where we meet demands, obey command and calculate results. The Spiritual Path always rewards our effort. It is the one place where we can sow seed in the soil and always expect yield, because of the spirit of inaction. When we submit to The Spirit, we think less about our bodies and focus on the soul. At first we may feel like it's a waste of time because our bodies ask, "What have I gotten out of this?"; but then we reap the result of inaction; a calm clear mind, an open yielded heart and an over all relaxed being.
This is the benefit of spirituality. The world is a busy place, too busy; self seeking, greedy, exploitative and given to only physical results which always amount to dollars and cents. This is not the true way of life. It is written in the bible that the apostles commanded the believers to sell much of their properties and possessions to ensure that the needs of all followers of the truth were met. This is the true way. Today the world imprisons the poor for being unable to care for their own children or unable to hold a job. If they were truly spiritual they would see the condition of man and seek to meet the needs of the poor and the oppressed. Instead they themselves are sick with greed. They strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
The human race is one family of sentient beings. Now that we are upright and accountable for the fortitude of our actions, it is necessary that we be not judgmental; but rather rely on the spirit to answer all the questions which plague our minds. Those answers are spiritual and cannot be perceived by the minds of the brutish. When we care for others and sacrifice our own desires, giving all to the cause of humanity; then we truly are believers. The believer is a dreamer because he wants to escape the mundane numbness of temporary results and find The Bliss afforded by the stillness of the natural mind. Then The Mind is awakened from sleep, giving birth to new and better results; righteous results accompanied by the joy of spirituality.
