Who can teach me spirituality? Who can take me to god? The
answer is no one. You alone can make you spiritual. You alone can reach god and
know god. Gurus, books, guides etc are just signposts. They just give you
direction. You need to do the walking. Finally, you need to experience it.
A cleansing process is essential before embarking on a
spiritual journey. The cleansing process involves keeping the mind and senses
in control. You cannot correct the past mistakes but you can stop from
repeating the mistakes.
Ignorant and evil-minded people are all around. But they
should not scare you away from seeing progress and hope. Such people are just
difficulties and obstacles that we need to overcome. Wisdom, common sense and
street smartness should be used to overcome such people.
You are not defenseless. It is that you have been made in
such a way by parents, education and society. Fight for Dharma. Dying for what
you hold true is better than living a subservient life.
