Practical Spirituality for Materialistic Man

Practical Spirituality for Materialistic Man

Too much of anything gives problem. No much of anything gives problem. We need to maintain a balance between too much and no much to be peaceful and balanced.

Balancing in all the needs of life and wants of life is important for a man of material life. Health, wealth, fame, recognition, importance, ego, pleasures, pains, success, failure, etc all are needed in proper dosage to be happy and stable in material life. Neither in excess nor in scarcity – balanced fulfillment of all is required to have a satisfied life.

If you are leading a material life, too much of spirituality is bad. It affects your material life. If you like or can not avoid material life, then do not involve in spirituality too much. Like pickle to cure rice ratio, keep spirituality a bit low and fulfill your materialistic demands. Distribute your efforts/time 80℅ for material life and 20℅ for spiritual life.

Identify what you want and where are you in the life and channelize your energy/efforts accordingly.

If you are into earning money, getting married, having children, bringing up children, then you need to address all the ingredients of material life.

Going to temple or your worshipping place, reading/reciting your religion’s holy books, doing prayer for material gains, doing charity, remembering God or Divine force if possible, avoid committing sins are your spiritual involvements. Rest you have to focus on your material life.

Mukti, samadhi, enlightenment, awakening, realizing brahman or aatma, mystical experience beyond mind, etc. are not for you if you are into material life. They are for a person who is into 100℅ spiritual life and completely detached from material life and have no commitments in material life.

There are yogic practices, breathing techniques, strict religious process, narcotic intakes to break the crust of I or melt the crust of I to connect with Divine energy. As a materialistic man, you do not try anything like these. You just live with the crust of I, do not break it. It is difficult for an uprooted tree to grow again. Don’t uproot. Just undergo and experience both good and bad of life without resistance like a tree which experiences all weathers and seasons patiently.

If you seek advice for your materialistic life problem, then get advice from an experienced person from materialistic life or atleast who is wearing your similar shoes. Do not seek advice from spiritual person for your materialistic life problems. Your material life is immaterial to spiritual person. His/her advice will not solve your problems. Be aware from whom you need to get advice. Sharing, lamenting are different from getting advice. You can share your grievance to some one you trust. But, you cannot get advice from anybody, especially from a spiritual person for your materialistic problems.

As a materialistic man/woman, you live with your fears and live with your desires. You pray for your fears and pray for your desires. Divine energy wants you to live like a human, that is why it has given you a chance to born as human. So, live, experience, die as a man/woman. Cosmic energy wants to experience, how it is to be you, so be you.

Spiritual Life Vs Materialistic Life – relation

How spirituality related to materialistic life? Spirituality has no impact on materialistic life and materialistic life has no impact of spirituality. A spiritually enlightened man can be either rich or poor. Enlightenment does not decide your materialistic wealth. Rich or poor life, does not enlightened you. Enlightenment decides your feelings, emotions to the events, happening in material life. It does not control events happening in material life.

Material life has it’s own rules and measurements unique to person to person by divine chaos, which are completely not related to spirituality. If you want to study well, you have to read, memorize, write, practice repeatedly to score good marks. If you are enlightened or worshipper or go to temple or meditate or do prayers, which will not guarantee that you will score good marks in your school or college or competitive exams.

Being wealthy, healthy, respectful, proud is entirely related to material life. You cannot claim respect from others in material life because you are spiritually enlightened. Material world has its own value system and measurement as how to respect or treat a person based on wealth and productivity. If you demand respect from material world, you have to fulfill what material world is expecting. If you want to travel in first class in train, then you should be in a position to pay(money) for first class ticket. Which means you should have enough money or earn enough money to buy first class ticket. No compromise.

Becoming enlightened or not is the only choice given to human. Rest, everything is determined subjectively by person to person. There are rules and there are exceptions. No theory fits for all in materialistic world.

A poor man can be enlightened, and a rich man can be enlightened. A poor man need not be enlightened, and rich man need not be enlightened. Enlightened has no relation with wealth or any materialistic resources.

If you want materialistic benefits, then you have to provide what it wants, be adhere to it’s process. Fifty Fifty. To achieve anything in materialistic life, your effort is 50% and divine chaos favoring to you is 50%. To pass you need 70% from both your effort and fate.

Your effort and your fate, decides how you live in materialistic life. But your spiritual life is 100% your choice. You can choose to be enlightened or not. If you are enlightened, it influence your feelings and emotions to events in materialistic life. It does not control happenings in materialistic life.

You need to put your effort to achieve anything in materialistic world provided you have God’s blessings(fate) for the same. You are working in a company. You want to be well paid. To be well paid, two things need to be good. One – you have to perform well, you have to contribute. Second – your company has to perform well in the industry or market. Both are tandem, complementing each other. You are performing well, but your company is not performing the business well, then you will not be paid. Your company is performing it’s business well, but you are not performing well, then you will not be paid. Both you and your company are not performing well respectively, then you will not be paid. In order to be paid well, both you and your company have to perform well. Tandem.

To be rich in material life, you need not be spiritually rich. To be spiritually rich, you need not be wealthy. This applies to health too.

Journey of a Dust

Dust particles floating in ray of light

What could be the journey of a dust? Does dust can have its goal, ambition, desire, destination?

We see dust particles moving here and there. In ray of sun light, movement of dust particles are visible to naked eyes.

Can a dust move on its own? Can a dust decide it’s path? When the air blows, dust move in the direction of wind. Dust move at the speed of wind. Dust seized to move when wind stops blowing. Thats it.

It is the air or wind which makes the dust move, float, arise, get velocity, etc.

Assume that dust has desire, mind, thoughts, ambition, destination. Can a dust do anything for its desire or goal or destination? It has to wait for the wind to blow to have movement.

What a pity, if dust have desires but it can not do anything on its own to attain it’s desires. Even if wind blows it is no guarantee that wind will take the dust to its destination. Dust has to develop/change desires, goal, destination according to wind.

We are all dust particles in the Divine Chaos. We move here and there based on Chaos. Chaos has to propel us. It is very pathetic to have desires in the Cosmic chaos. Humans have goals which are equal to goal of dust.

There is no meaning of dust having desires, it may or may not be realised depending on wind blow. In the same way human desires may or may not be realised based on Cosmic Chaos. Chaos has to favour our desires, destination.

Can a dust be proud of having reached its destination? Can a dust be ashame of not reaching its destination? First of all, can a dust have a destination of its own?

But, humans will be proud of achieving their goals, will be ashame of not achieving goals. When Divine chaos lifts us in worldly life, we feel proud as we lifted ourself by our effort. When Divine chaos drops us in worldly life, we feel sad as we fall or reached lower state by our mistakes.

We are nothing more than dust in Divine chaos, our desires, goals, ambition are like a dust having it’s desires, goals, destination.

Divine Chaos driving life

This life events are caused by divine chaos. With human intelligence and logic, we can not understand the divine logic behind divine chaos.

Most of the people who speaks spirituality are speaking from what they read, hear. They understand/digest what they read and hear and re-tell their own version. They don’t speak out of their true experience or wisdom.


Even if few may undergo true spiritual experience by God’s will or have wisdom from birth by God’s blessing, have no need to speak and they don’t speak. Even if they speak out of their true experience or own wisdom, people can not differentiate between those who speak from what they read, listen and those who speak out of experience. Both looks same.

Nobody can understand Divine Chaos, whatever book we read, whatever speech we listen, whatever we study, analyse about mind, whatever meditation we do, what ever experience we have, whatever wisdom we have, we can not understand this Chaos.

Once, we realise that we can not understand Cosmic Chaos…. Spirituality ends, we become enlightened.

Enlightenment comes from God.

Power of Now cures the effects of OCD Depression in Action

My friend is suffering from OCD, and depression. Reading Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle has given some awareness and relief from his mental disabilities.

He is undergoing psychiatric treatment for his illness – OCD and depression.

He was suffering from repeatative thought patterns which haunt him continuesly. Fear of loosing job, uncertainty of future, insecurity about everything, children future, job tension are his obsessive tensions.

He is having Sizodon, Lamosyn – but those medicines are not able to relieve him. He has undergone Sudarshan kriya from Art of Living and Shambhavi Maha mudra from Isha yoga. Both did not have positive effect on him.

While watching YouTube videos about depression, he stumbled upon Eckhart Tolle videos. He was impressed by Eckhart Tolle’s simplicity and speech about Karma. Later my friend, come to know about the book Power of Now written by Eckhart Tolle.

He purchased the book.

Power of Now is not a self motivational book. It is a book about mind and thought process. It explains how mind behaves. It is about Enlightment.

Reading the Power of Now gave relief to my friend. It gave him awareness about mind and thoughts. It made him understand that he is not his thoughts. It taught how he has to differentiate himself from his thoughts.

My friend felt much better after reading the book, he is somewhat relieved from his anxieties. Power of Now mitigated his OCD, and Depression. My friend is not cured completely, but he is able to manage OCD and Depression with the awareness he learnt from that book.

Power of Now did not control his thoughts, but mitigated the influence of thoughts in his actions with awareness.

For safer side, he continues having medicine and regular checkup with doctor. He did not try for enlightenment told in the book.
