Spiritually Intense places on earth
Back from Vrindavan trip.....a trip to the spiritual capital of the universe. The concentration of spirituality is not uniformly spread over matter universe, but it is topsy turvy curve. Certain places on earth you can recharge your spiritual battery more because of intensification. India assumes importance on this earth for it is home to places of intense spiritual energy. South india has its share from Tirupati, Udupi, Srirangam, rameswaram to name some of the major ones. Bu there are innumerable of you start to really count. The SriVaisnava sampradaya calls it as Divya desams or spiritual abodes. It is the target of every follower of Sri Ramanuja to cover all of the Divya Desams atleast once in a life time. There are innumerable places in North India starting with the Char Dham, Mathura, Vrindavan, Kurukshetra, Ayodhya to name some of the prominent ones. West and East inida have their own share. Infact if you do a relative comparison every inch of india has higher spiritual energy than other parts of the world. One need just feel it and know techniques to access and recharge our spirit. Eyes should not cheat you as always. Our pair of eyes is not a great instrument to gather knowledge or to have great experiences.
Our senses are imperfect....without background knowledge one can mistake Sun to be a small bright ball if one believes only what is seen thru the pair of flesh eyes....The perception of the eye is mostly illusion...It generally shows that which is not...you go to one of these spiritual intense places and see that it is covered by all round garbage and you criticize and come back! boy! you are losing a spiritual experience....the spiritual energy is hidden as a layer beyond the garbage and pollution....you are handicapped by lack of techniques to access them...The same eyes will attract you in artiical resort with well kept grass which fleece your money and all you get after the stay is increased is hankering and lust...definitely not relaxation and peace. But you struggle in these spiritually intense places,..put up and tolerate the lack of systems and modern facilities...you reap the reward of causeless peace when you are back...
What is this all about? Spiritual energy, recharge etc....what is the framework which supports all this? The central essence is we are spiritual particle of life. Life is not the body or the mind or the intelligence. It is eternally existing perfect particle......Experience of life from the domain of this spiritual life particle is real happiness. we are all searching waiting hankering for that experience. The natural happiness of being is to be experience by crossing over the bodily, mental layers of existence. Beautiful natural being, the experience of existence at the innermost core where every breath is bliss.
We are something very beautiful and sublime hidden layers below this nasty body and mind. We have to uncover divine self from the clutches of the body/mind. The Dive life particle 'soul' has tobe aroused, nourished, awakened. It is sleeping in deep slumber dreaming the nasty activities of the body/mind.
