Spirituality is becoming a necessity now a days because we become reckless for the other parts of the human being. We are not single we are three actually. We put your all attentions on the materialistic part the human being; the body. We concern only about the bodily part of human instrument. We forget there is a mind, there is intellect and there is a life principle. You can give a name; the soul, to this life principle.
We should know how to care for and feed our minds and souls. Now clinical psychologist are recommending to adopt the practice of spiritual programs. Spirituality is essential to human happiness and mental health.
Vedanta is a thought from spiritual minds from India. The knowledge of Vedanta actually is a happening to minds of those who practice mediation and deep contemplation. In that deep state when brains waves went to minimum; the life force give rises to a kind of spiritual knowledge. That knowledge can be received by anyone who undergo that experience.
Contemplation, meditation, prayers and other spiritual practices from any branch of religion have the power to release the life force in the deepest level of human minds. There are couple of evidences showing that religious and spiritual practices can help when everything else has failed.
In recent study in US it is found that most of the Americans want to be spiritual but not want to be religious. The idea behind this is to nourish the mind and underlying principle of life force.
Human instrument is not a single entity; the body. At the same time this instrument is comprises of a body, a mind and a soul. All these three entities are different from each other. Methods of nourishment for the each must be different. Methods of nourishment of body are so many as the entire World is working upon it.
But method of nourishment for mind start from contemplation and meditation. According to the Mental Health Foundation one out of four British adults practice the art of meditation. Besides this 50% would be interested in learning meditation because they think that meditation can help them improving their health.
We all are fighting for peace and happiness. Whatever we do in our life is to bring the happiness in our lives. Sometimes we forget about the peace and only fight for happiness. But Vedanta says happiness is a state of mind. When mind releases tranquility we immediately become happy.
Wonderful, indeed, it is to tame the mind, so difficult to tame ever swift, and seizing whatever it desires. A tamed mind brings happiness – Buddha.
A tamed mind brings happiness. Spiritual Practices like yoga, yoga nidra and meditation helps to tame our mind. After taming the mind there are chances to nourish our soul. Because the way to reach the soul goes through a silent mind only. After silencing the mind and after taming the mind we could be able to understand the underlying principle.
So care of all three parts of a human instrument is necessary to avoid the stress and to live a peaceful life.
