Spiritulity VS Religion

I think Religion and Spirituality are two interrealed terms. Both of them are related with each other as the essense behind the both is the same thing. For me Religion is the basic principles that u follow in life to live a righteous life, to do ur prescribed duties and to do things for the welfare of world. Religion is inevitable as this is what we grew up by and what we will be walking on. Religion leads a man to do his duties properly and to walk in the path of righteousness, religion basically follows the teachings of god or an enlightened person whileas spiritualilty is little broader topic for me, Spirituality is basically doing research, analysis and implementation of the soul or spirit. Our soul is our ultimate consciouness and it is eternal, never born never dead. We people feel all kinds of attachment, pain and pleasure because we identify ourself with body. Relationship, hatred, fondness are all there because of mind, so when a person takes himself as a soul then he is a consciouness in himself and he is eternal, when he gets enlightened  on the fact that he is not the body but the soul then he is liberated from this material world.The main cause of bondage in this material world is desire. What we become in our next life is decided by our desire at the time of death. Religion puts us in the right track to get past all the attachments and spirituality leads us to liberation or in simple terms religion is the basis of purification of ones mind and body but spirituality is the process of liberting the soul from this material world. If i were asked which is more important, religion or spirituality then my answer would be spirituality as lord Krishna said in bhagawad geeta ," give up all varities of religion and surrender to me and i shall give you  liberation", its obvious to us from the words of the lord that religion is not the most importand thing in any people's life, still people identify themselves with there body, mind and religion and act accordingly. From spirituality context killing in the name of dharma is the most absurd deed because this very own deed leads religion to be a poision. We all humanity should take ourself as soul because two souls are same though they may have an individual identity ans two souls never kill each other only two bodies does, we can make this world a better place to live if Osama Bin Laden, Americans and all other human being take up the idea of spirituality, religion is the not the end goal but spirituality is.

Bhagawad Gita

Bhagawad Gita is the arrays of sacred words spoken to arjuna by lord Krishna. Lord Krishna is the eight avatara of Lord Vishnu and he is taken as the perfect and full avatara by hindus. When the war was about to start Arjuna asked his chariot Lord Krishna to take him between the two sides whom he could see as after the battle there would be many faces that will disappear forever. Arjuna caught up in his own attachment and moha tells the lord that he is not going to fight because in the battle if there is anyone who is going to die, it will be his brothers or relatives. How could he shower arrows to his guru Dronacharya, his kulguru Kripacharya, his grandshire Vishma as they were all senior and respected persons for him. He was in the midst of dilemma and then the lord spoke. The Lord said "u talk like an intelligent person but u are grieving for nothing", the wise never laments nor repents on his deeds, the lord further said that in this world nobody can be killed as the consciousness is the soul and the soul is never born never dead. The body is just an uniform that the soul changes. So its not a good thing to be attached to the body and repent on it as it was never alive. The person that u are seeing are all souls and how can they be killed, they have to shed there body by anymeans someday, its just the matter of when and how, if u dont take there lives and let them shed there bodies somebody else will as u are in the battle field and this is the place to fight for what is right. The Pandavs are there to fight for a higher cause then hastinapur, its for justice, for dharma so arjuna being a kshatriya was his foremost duties to fight for justice. Furthermore the lord says u have to do ur prescibed duties which is inevitable. Its better to do ones duties imperfectly then to do others duties perfectly. Arjuna was kshatriya and his duties was being a warrior and also to save the dharma and fight against injustice and in doing so u shouldnt expect for the fruit of the karma. There is a line that says "do the karmas but dont except for the fruit", as expecting the fruit of the result is an attachment to itself, the best ways to do ur duties is to offer the fruit of karma to me as this way the doer doesnt be the doer but as a means to do the karma and the lord becomes the doer and when one is just a mean but nor a doer, how can a karma bid him then and he explains Arjuna 18 types of yoga and out of them bhakti, karma, jnana and dhyana yoga are the topmost.He further expalins all the yogas to arjuna and he tries to tell arjuna that he is the greatest among men and arjuna still doent take on that so he shows his universal form to arjuna and arjuna being convinced by his words takes his bow and goes for the fight ulimately leading Pandavas to the victory. The essense of Gita cant be explained in a short post, as it is spoken in sutras and out of every sutras 100 meanings can be produced so to explore it and have an understanding u need to have a guru who can not only explain geeta but all the upanishad and vedas to you as geeta is the very essense of what upanishad and vedas are trying to say.

How to get started in spirituality

We all are spiritual in some ways, we all want that inner peace and the inner ecstasy. Its all about reaching that stage where there is nothing but ecstacy, peace. so how could one start in the path of spirituality? well there is only one answer to this i.e to find a guru who has already experienced the divine and can help u to reach it. Our scriptures say that without guru there is no knowledge, guru is not a person but the embodiment of knowledge, even bhagawad gita emphasizes on finding the right guru for the spiritual upliftment. When you find guru try making ur guru happy and when guru is happy then the knowledge is bestowed. I also have a guru and i fall in the disciple succession of his reverend Paramhans Swami NIKHILESHORANANDA, my guru is one of his disciple. So trying find a guru and especially if anyone is interested in sadhana, mantra, tantra then i can help u on the path. Secondly is there is one thing that i recommend will be BHAGAWAD GITA as this book is the song of god, lord Krishna portrays the beautiful essence of vedas in the question and answer format. He uses the essense of vedas to dispel the doubts and insecurity of arjuna and arjuna fights to win the battle of kurukshetra, the words are immortal and i recommend every person who wants to start in the spirituality by reading bhagawad gita but even to understand geeta nicely u have to have a guru, so everything boils down to four letter word "GURU", so to get started in spirituality one has to find a guru and receive the knowledge through Gurus grace
