We can never be ‘mindful’ of spirit, as it not within the realm of mind to ‘realise’ the spirt. Spirit is always realized not understood or intellectually ‘known’. The heading itself is contradictory. Spirit/soul/divine/god is the subject of spiritual sadhaks, whose path leads through the elevation of consciousness, self-enlightenment i.e., and the realization of the Self. All we do here is intellectual exercise, extension of thought and in-depth study of the mind. But the subject matter we have taken on requires some other kind of regimen. Its curriculum is entirely different. Often it is treated so offhandedly that the wise would be compelled to rise from their graves to have fun & a hearty laugh at our ‘sham-wisdom’. a gentleman just equalized soul with mind. Why join a subject discussion----actually in spiritual path, there is no discussion, it is always learning at the feet of the masters&realization of the truth. There is no short-cut and no exemption from the prescribed regimens (sadhna).With mind we can conquer the world, achieve ultimate heights in any field, attain optimum knowledge of all the physical sciences, and amass a hoard of degrees, but never the ‘realization’ of soul/self/divine. Purity of thought, word and deed; character, dispassion, compassion, love, sacrifice, surrender to Him are some of the prerequisites---are we ready for them? In India there is class of people known as renunciates/medicants/yogi/saints etc., whose number is around thirty millions. They forsake all worldly ties and lead a life, which is completely focused on Him (they wear saffron color simple clothes as the symbol of renunciation). There may be some hoax element in them, but largely they are genuine and devote their lives in the service of God and society(among them are topclass ceo&pros, who left lucrative jobs in u.sa&other eu countries). Emulating their lives, there are millions others who, while discharging all worldly duties& besides being householder, stand unto the dharma (righteousness, truth, love and peace) standards of life. This is no fiction, as this land is rightly called a karambhomi, thagbhumi (land of action and renunciation). Simply put “Hands in society, but heads in forest”. That is the type of life a seeker is required to lead, before they can aspire to realize the One, who is the Ultimate-Reality. Yes, the Truth is realizable! God is realizable. Here you will find thousands, who have realized Him, but lead an exemplary life; the life Lord Jesus led---of compassion, sacrifice, dedication and love.with love&regards.ls.
