You can be a student aspiring to be the best in your class, you can be an executive in an organization aspiring for higher role and responsibilities, you can be a professional aspiring for being popular for your unique and rare skills, you can be an entrepreneur aspiring to grow your business to greater heights, you can be a dancer aspiring to enthrall your audiance in all your performances, you can be an actor aspiring to deliver mind blowing performances, you can be a stage actor aspiring for standing ovations, you can be a television artist aspiring to win heart of millions through your engrossing performance, you can a filmstar aspiring to win Oscar, you can be a singer aspiring to win Grammy, you can be a scientist aspiring to get Nobel PrIze, you can be an author aspiring to win Bookers Prize, you can be a sports star aspiring to win national and international awards, you can be a doctor aspiring to present to the world an innovative surgical procedure, you can be a pilot and aspiring to be known for your best tactical maneouver, you can be a very learned teacher aspiring to groom achievers in their young and the list goes on and on.
Now if you identify yourself amongst any of the aspiring achievers in their own field, have you ever thought what else you need other than dedicated effort, hardwork, persevearance, focus. Many a times you might have felt that you are giving your best but still not able to get the desired results. You might have attended many trainings to help you in that direction, you might have read many self help books to get better in achieving the desired results. But you still might have felt that something is missing. You might have felt that you were almost there, but still you were not exactly there. Something was missing from the winning formula, and you will not be able to either put those missing elements from the winning formula either in words or thoughts. This can be felt by stage artists (where they are able to gauge the audiance response immediately), fihter pilots during very tough tactical manevours, pilots of passenger planes during storm, airpockets or landing in case of engine failures.
Here spirituality can come to your rescue. It can elevate you to an altogether different plane of thoughts, ideas and action.
Now you may ask here, why to take help of spirituality when you are already rightly qualified, trained and capable of executing the roles or responsibilities you are currently shouldering.
Aaron Wolf, professor of geography at Oregon State University said “Science only got you so far with technology and if you had to understand human or superhuman systems, then understanding the system from a rational perspective was very limiting. Use of spiritual perspective will help you with ideas and thoughts which will appear very unifying and satisfying to all.”
Fritjof Capra, famous particle physicist and author of book “The Tao of Physics”, said “The striking parallels between Eastern mystical traditions and quantum physics and relativity theory had been noticed by a few people but had not been explored by scientists before the book “The Tao of Physics”. The main insights in my work on particle physics have not been arrived at rationally, but have been intuitive, sometimes coming from a meditative practice. There is a state where the rational mind steps back and the intuitive mind takes over and puts things together. In the new understanding of complexity, creativity is a fundamental property of life and is defined as the emergence of novelty. For instance, I try and solve a conceptual problem by thinking about it. The more I study it, the more confused I get. I go for a walk. While I am relaxed, suddenly everything clicks, a new idea emerges.”
You will see that a deep practice of spirituality will help you with emergence of thoughts which are not from the rational mind but from your superconcious mind which appears to know all that is truth. A case in point was the evolution of Vedic Mathamatics and Ayurveda by sages at a time frame of almost 3000 BC.
Which perspective of spirituality will help you in this regard? Spirituality which involves being compassionate towards fellow beings, doing things where you are the doer of the action but where you are not aspiring to enjoy the results of your action, where your actions are not towards satisfying your sense organs, where your actions are not towards satisfying the needs of your ego, where all your efforts and actions are dedicated to the supreme being or the super being or the superconciousness. Also always concentrate on what you can give to others rather than concentrating on what you can get.
And you also need to enhance your spirituality by daily dose of meditation and yoga.
With all these things put together, you will see an emergence of a strange power, a strange force, where you are able to achieve whatever you are able to think or conceive in your mind. You will be in a trully blissful state. And in this state you success rate of what ever you are aspiring for will manifest.
You will sparkle inside and also your sparkling will be visible to all. Your accent to higher plane of being starts from there.
"Medidate on the Glory of the Creator".
