The Sprouted Spirituality

on Sep 22, 2011
In my last three years, stumbling to revive self, I came in touch with various identities that I already had. I’m more or less perceived to be a tech-lover, but that is only one of my identities. Primarily, I’m a Spiritualist and a Geek in my second avatar!

Belief in a divine entity dominated my thought ever and ever since I have been following him. I hear from the Supreme and I always felt like driven by an unknown force (the Supreme). I can see the hand of God in every aspect of life. Like many others, spirituality was grained in me, being born in a religious family but the firm belief I’ve acquired is due to my own subjective experience I have had till now.

Spirituality induced solitariness in me and in the recent years my belief has only increased. Solitariness,  yes because it is the derivative of Spiritualism. It raises the man above the plane of worldliness. It rebuilds the lost sense of direction and one following it attains faith in action gradually and is sure to bind into solitariness. Rare people get into it, who are a great endurer and a prisoner of their own thought. I'm a prisoner of my own thought and my thoughts are my message. But I believe people with no faith in a transcendental power will never learn what, the ultimate reality is, anyway. I doubt people who perceive gods as an illusion are never the ruler; my opinion, may be wrong, but it is no exaggeration to say that such people cannot achieve the supreme bliss, liberty or realize-self. Also, people who are firm in their belief and action go through trodden-tracks, which strengthen them. I've faced extreme somberness in the recent few years which left me into the depth of oblivion. Hopefully now the split between the dark and dawn seems to be narrowing.

Optimism leads to achievement; and that's what I have in full. I do not panic. I'm optimistic about the results. Even after a series of failures I stood firm. Each time I failed; I felt empowered. God's will! I laud the supreme for bestowing me with the courage to endure. I'm confident, if I survived in such a situation, I can demolish any hindrance in my path. This is God's grace that ignites the flame of vengeance, which otherwise must remain dormant. It is effective to those with purity and are determined.
                                            
I hate people who in-spite of much evidence dismiss the fact of existence of God. It is beyond my power to induce in them a belief in God. There are certain things which are self-proved and certain which are not proved at all. I've read several books based on life and spiritual evolution. Proofs are many; I cannot sum-up them here in one post. There are numerous phenomena from which you can reason out the existence of God.
                                                                                                                                                                                        
I just finished reading Mani Bhaumik's Code Name God, a must must read. Code Name God is an eye-opener for all. When I heard about this book, the name was was the first thing that struck my mind. When I read the tag-line "The Spiritual Odyssey of a man of Science", I ordered it. Code Name God is an amalgamation of eastern and western epistemology. Dr. Mani Lal Bhaumik, an India-born, American scientist draws the parallels between Science and Spirituality through his personal experience of life. The book is a bit autobiographical in nature. Born on a mud floor, Dr. Bhaumik survived colonial oppression, epidemic and famine to earn a Ph.D. from IIT and later a fellowship from University of California. He's the co-inventor of LASIK, holds an honorable lifetime D.Sc. degree from the IIT. Through his spiritual odyssey he has tried to find the common ground between Spirituality and Science and how they both are complementary to each other and important for us. He has eloquently explained how Quantum Physics lends support to the basic concept of God and it makes for fascinate reading. All-in-all it justifies;


     Science without religion is lame; Religion without science is blind.


For some people religion and spirituality is merely a silly faith. Giving rational explanations are useless; it is beyond their mind-grasp. To get enlightened spiritually, they need to unlearn a lot of literature which deviates their mind. It is pathetic that a man can be so spiritually dead as to have no love for God. But if such a person does exist, take a careful note of his career; and you'll find that he may be a man of high rank, of noble family but; but these great advantages will not save him from oblivion.
I walk completely in faith. It works for me and is a very calming realization. It brings an elated state of mind and provides the ability to act with a great clarity of mind. Though it has been a long abeyance waiting for the dawn, I believe he has switched-off all the lights to throw a surprise party, as I always say, its always darkest just before the dawn…
