Life Of A Spiritual Person

Looking at the title of this post, you might be wondering what’s so different about a spiritual person's life compared to a non-spiritual person. Well, there isn't a major difference that can tell you whether a person is spiritual or not. But, on an individual level, there are certain things a spiritual person faces and understands at a deeper level.

First and foremost is the dilemma we face between the external and the internal worlds. Personally, this is a major issue I face in my day-to-day life. When I am doing some kind of spiritual practice like meditation or listening/reading spiritual texts, I feel like this is the actual life. I feel quite peaceful and oneness within myself. I feel more positive and energetic during such times.

But, when I see people on social media, posting photos with friends, I feel like I have lost many such times with my own friends. So, then I decide, I will go out with friends more often. But, just after going out once or twice, I feel drained and feel the need to recharge myself. This happens especially in crowded places and places where there is a lot of drinking and smoking going on. So, to get recharged, I again go back to my spiritual routine, and this cycle between the internal and external worlds goes on.

I think it’s high time I find my balance between these two worlds. But, that is going to be really tough.. haha!

The second point of difference is quite interesting and I think many of you will relate to it. It's about the intuitions and signs we keep getting in life. As a spiritual person, you are more likely to get these signs from the universe. But, the problem with us is that we keep ignoring them thinking that we are overthinking things. And, we keep getting many signs until we finally realize it. Unfortunately, though, many times it’s quite late, and we regret not believing the signs earlier.

Third, is the feeling of detachment and stillness. Personally, I am in a phase of a little stillness within myself. I can just sit idle and think about nothing. This is also problematic at times as I forget what I was thinking or doing just the other minute. I become totally still for a while... like blank... haha.. sounds funny no? But, I notice with this stillness, there comes a sense of awareness within you. We become more aware of our deeds and thoughts, which is really good according to the law of attraction and the law of karma. If one is aware of their thoughts, one can immediately change a negative thought into a positive one.

Feeling of detachment is what many people face after they have been on a spiritual journey for quite some time. Like, the detachment from the external world is the most common thing you will notice in them. Some people are detached from every little thing, be it family, friends, or money. They are completely on the way to being enlightened beings, which is the actual destination of all the beings in the world.
