RENUNCIATION in SPIRITUALITY:

SPIRITUALITY DOES not MEAN RENUNCIATION.
1. Spirituality does not mean detachment and living separately from the world.
2.It does not mean renouncing or rejecting materialism. 
3. It does not mean hardhearted-ness, irresponsible toward family & society. 
4. Does not mean keeping relationships only with people coming in the Temple ( Church or Mosque ).
5. Does not mean dressed only in Orange or any specific clothes. 
6. Does not mean rigidity, no flexibility in life. 
7. Does not mean repression & restraint ourselves from material need & enjoyment. 
8. Does not mean neglectful toward our health & work.

Spirituality in our day to day life means Compassion & Passion ( means Devotion ) while playing our role either as a parents, spouse, children, siblings, friends, relatives, employees , employers, as a president.....or whatever role is given to us in this world. Yes our action , behavior, speech....every activities should fill up with Compassion & Enthusiasm. Spirituality means enjoying our day to day routine activity, enjoying our relationship, our work........etc....enjoying every little things we do in our life. We should develop Spiritual eyes to see every creation as a God’s energy. 

We can appreciate everything around us as a creation of God but at a same time with our Sense of discrimination we should accept the things which is favorable for our spiritual growth defined as YUKTA and reject the things which is unfavorable defined as VAIRAYGA. Example: Food & Sleep are essential for spiritual advancement but at a same time too much food & sleep will be harmful to our spiritual growth. Use of Wealth, Technology, Skills, Power, Fame.....or anything in our favor to progress further on spiritual journey....Yukta and remain detached from same if it is not favorable.......Vairayga. 

Bg 6.16 -- There is no possibility of one’s becoming a yogī, O Arjuna, if one eats too much or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough.

Bg 6.17 -- He who is regulated in his habits of eating, sleeping, recreation and work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system. ( Vedabase.com ).

Bg 5.7 -- One who works in devotion, who is a pure soul, and who controls his mind and senses is dear to everyone, and everyone is dear to him. Though always working, such a man is never entangled ( Vedabase.com ).

In short everything in this world is beautiful but we should ACCEPT the thing which is favorable and RENOUNCE the thing which is not favorable for our Spiritual Growth. Of course in order to maintain or uplift our Spiritual fitness we have to do our Sadhna means Spiritual Yoga everyday just like Physical Yoga to maintain our Physical fitness. Every good thing can start with good Association & Hearing. Association with like minded people & Hearing the Scriptures daily will lead us toward our goal. 

Thank You.

 MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION & SOURCE:

I am inspired to hear & read Vedic Scriptures & other philosophy by regularly hearing Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale known as Dadaji ( speak on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra. 

I also hear and read everyday the discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......). 

FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com ( Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures ). Hearing & reading these scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantra daily are purifying to our senses, nourishing to our heart ( Soul ), transcendental to our consciousness and uplifting to our emotions.

It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. I am posting articles based on Vedic scriptures and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding & emotions. Writing/sharing the articles is my Devotion to God/Gita/Guru. Of course I use Smartphone, Google, Pexels search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook & Social media for providing me the platform.

Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.

Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).

NOTE:
I use the word Hearing instead of Listening when it comes to Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.

We can follow either Quran, Bible, Jainism, Buddhism, Gita or any other Philosophy that makes sense to us, purify us , elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill the love for God & his creation. ( whichever way we can understand the God, Form or Formless..or Universal Consciousness or Energy ...etc ).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion & Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by Definition through Scriptures. Transcendental subjects of God & his creation can not be understand by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why circle is circular? Just by definition circle is circular similarly by definition God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes. 

I see the God besides above mention qualities as a eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by name Krishna means who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, form, abode, many incarnation, activities, qualities, associates, full of wisdom, bliss, cause of all causes.
