Really, we need time for spirituality?
By: Vivek Rawat
In today’s fastest changing and growing society, 24×7 everyone is busy in his/her schedule for progressing in their career. The question arises that he/ she has no time for spirituality, is it a reality? We should think deeply. It has agreed that everyone is busy for every second and doesn’t have enough time to visit religious places but it’s not like that.
The reality is that we don’t need time to link ourselves to almighty God because our day to day activity is the main door for the home of almighty God. From early morning to late night, how politely, how kindly we serve everyone in the society that matters most. Every person listened in his childhood or in school time that “Work is worship” but most of the people just read, not focused on that. It means that whatever the work, task or duty we are performing on daily basis, that is under the mentorship of God or not? If answer is Yes then we don’t need to take out special time to go religious place but if answer is No, then our daily schedule to go to religious place will not be meaningful in our life. If we have read any holy book such as Bhagavad Gita or Kuran, Bible, Guru Granth sahib, everywhere it is mentioned that serving the humanity, society and helping the people will be actual worship of God.
“Once an interview held with a famous comedian and bollywood co-star, Late Vivek Shauq, he also belonged to a spiritual community. The interviewer asked to him that sir, you are so successful today, have earned a lot of name and fame in the industry, you also belong to a spiritual mission, my question is that how you get so much time for activity of your religious mission. The person replied later, ‘while talking with you for an hour you told me so many times that you got happy after talking with me’; it’s done. It is the main activity of my spiritual mission. It’s not necessary that we need a place to perform worship, anytime and anywhere we can do worship of God while helping, serving people and make them happy.” This incident explains the actual worship and we already know that God is present everywhere, so let’s begin to change our views about worship and make our habit to serve and help the people as much as possible.
