I've always felt that it's important for people to understand the difference between being religious and being spiritual. Even though they go hand-in-hand, most people don't realize it. I'm believer of respecting every religion because no religion that one follows teaches us to hate another. If you can't respect other religions then you can't respect your own religion. Simple as that. It's easy to read a Holy book but if you don't understand the meaning of what you've read..then what's the point? It's important to understand the meaning because that's the only we'll really and truly understand our faith and this world. It's the only way to not let fundamentalist brainwash you into believing something that isn't true.

Reading this poem seemed as if you were reading my thoughts. True and straight to the point. Loved it.

Perfection comes from within - not to impress anyone but by being yourself. I've seen people lose all they've had just to be perfect. In my opinion, you can be perfect as long as you don't lose your peace and your sanity. Everyone has a different definition for perfection. Some find perfection in accomplishing their goals and being happy while others find perfection in destroying lives to reach to the top. The big question is - are you happy by destroying others? Is that your idea of being a perfect human? I'd rather not be 'perfect' because at least I'll be happy with myself. That to me is much more important and worth the effort to be 'perfect'. Anyways, there's no such thing as being 'perfect'. None is perfect - regardless of how much one tries. It's all in the mind. You can think you're perfect but the world may think of you as the biggest jerk/loser on this planet. I guess you've reached you're perfect then, eh? Loved this post - think it was much needed for people who try to make everything so complicated. Live simply, you'll be the happiest.

Thanks for the comment though :) Tue, 14 Sep 2010 15:27:22 +0000 http://saanamsmind.com/blog/2010/09/13/our-home-a-wonderful-world/#IDComment98728111 http://saanamsmind.com/blog/2010/08/23/humanity-where-is-it/#IDComment95029975 Welcome to our blog Kevin. Absolutely. One can only pray that the people realize the importance of standing up to such issues and doing what's right. Money and power will never take a man anywhere until and unless he opens up his heart. Thank you for stopping by and hope to see more of you.

Humanity can't be purchased yet people don't seem to care. Once we change our attitude to look at positive side of everything, only then we will think of other humans as our own.

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:47:46 +0000 http://saanamsmind.com/blog/2010/08/23/humanity-where-is-it/#IDComment95028328 http://saanamsmind.com/blog/2010/08/21/inhumane-humans/#IDComment94889892 I have been so disturbed by this horror that I just have no words. Is this the world we're living in where people stand to watch someone being stoned to death as if it's a circus? The people had the nerve to stand and make videos but not stop this horror? Where are the feelings of these humans? What kind of example are we setting for our future generations? Even the animals don't treat their own the way we humans do. We sit here and have a world of topics to talk about, countless conversations and jokes we share but we can never ever share or even imagine the pain of the parents of these victims. I just pray for the families and the victims of such horror. May God take care of those who just stood there and especially those who are responsible for these deaths. Every moment I pray for justice because if today we are not given justice, we never will be able to ever ask for any sort of justice ever. I feel sick to even consider myself a citizen of this selfish world.

I personally think that's what spirituality is really about. Doing things from your soul. It's really not how to pray but what you pray and one can seek God in anything. To be able to feel God close to yourself, all you really need to do is to look within yourself. Our inner needs to be clean for God to be felt in ourselves as well. Our spiritual journey is interpreting the precious meaning of this unique life given to us and, hopefully, recognizing and living this Oneness, brought to us in many forms by the great teacher - Life itself, in its various crises and transit. Spirituality is living our life from the realization that the body/mind/ego personality we have been taught to identify with is just the tip of our iceberg. We have to seek happiness, honesty and positivity around us and within us. One can be religious and still be spiritual. I know personally I consider myself to be spiritual..my own way with connecting with God. Even though I pray five times a day and try my very best to do all that my religion requires, there is still part of me that seeks God in greater ways. One can be spiritual in many ways. The first step to being spiritual is accepting reality and accepting the existence of many things around us. Accepting the fact that there is more negativity around us is a first step towards working our mind and heart to only seek positivity. I try to look for positivity in every thing - even the worst of situations. It strengthens my faith in God and all that I believe in. I truly pray from the bottom of my heart that you continue to be success on this journey of spirituality and always find that Oneness with God. I know it's there :) <3 you.

Happiness should never to bought, looked out for, it just comes. It comes in bits and pieces and that's what we humans need to understand I guess. We can't have everything in the world for OUR happiness. Love you lots. Hugs. Tue, 3 Aug 2010 02:05:19 +0000 http://saanamsmind.com/blog/2010/08/01/happiness-is-never-simple/#IDComment90473191
