What does it mean to be spiritual?
- to realize that you are a spiritual being, not simply the body that you inhabit
- to have a vision of brotherhood for all other souls, to realize the responsibility that we all have towards one another
- to have made some sort of a personal relationship with the Supreme Soul, God.
- to realize that no one religion has rights over God, God is the God of all beings, whether or not they recognize him
- to realize that you are responsible for every one of your thoughts, words and actions,
- one reaps what one sows, so we must be accepting of everything that we create
- to realize that all souls are on their own spiritual journey and to be supportive of others with your good wishes, while not expecting or wanting anything from others
- to be a bestower and not a taker from this world
- to be one who, with God's help, makes effort to conquer the 5 vices of lust, ego, greed, anger and attachment, (all forms of fear)
- to be constantly humble, gentle, loving and peaceful
- to radiate happiness and purity with your every thought, word and action
- to be an example to others
- to be stable and unaffected by the fluctuations and instability of others and the world around
- to be one who is humble enough to listen to the opinions of others, but grounded enough not to be blown off course by anyone
- to recognize the power of your elevated thoughts and to use them to benefit the world
- to be a messenger of peace by remembering that your true nature is peace and your home is the world of peace and your Father is the Ocean of Peace
- to give respect and regard to everyone without being impressed by, or worshipping anyone, (this disempowers the soul)
- to remember God at every moment with a lot of love
- to use your body, mind and wealth in God’s service out of love, realizing it to be your good fortune, not by compulsion.
- to be introspective and content in all situations, realizing that every scene in the drama of life is there for me to benefit from
- to imbibe virtues and powers from God
- to tolerate everything with a lot of love, knowing that everything is for good, even bad things are really good in the long run because they allow me to transform myself
