Spiritual voyagers of eternity



We are spiritual beings encased in physical bodies. We are not human beings who have occasional spiritual experiences, but rather we are spiritual beings who have occasional human experiences.

Our bodies are born, our bodies die; but we our selves do neither. We are voyagers of eternity created to learn and experience, to assimilate, to absorb, to observe and ultimately to know.

Once we realise these things, we will be free from the chains that bind us to continue in this unending journey of discovery in the form of flesh. But self-realisation is not the end of discovery, it is just the beginning, for without the enslavement in the flesh; we are free to soar through the innumerable worlds and innumerable planes of existence as freely as the light that shines forth from the countless suns.

Welcome the problems of life

Life is about learning, growing, exploring and loving. In this process, there are moments where you encounter problems, hardships, difficulties, pain and suffering. You are not alone! Everybody has faced these. This is as much a necessary part of life as the good times where you are happy, joyous and blissful. 

It is when we have these so-called 'negative' experiences that we are able to put our own life in perspective. Mostly people reflect only after something 'bad' happens to them. This is a normal thing. God has His ways of reminding us about the Big Picture. We are here to grow, learn, explore and love. On the way, we all enter into attachments of some kind or the other. Be it to material things, people, ideas, habits, etc. But attachment, though a very normal thing, can be limiting to our own growth and happiness. 

God reminds us that true happiness lies in accepting that all Earthly things are temporary and are to be enjoyed as such. While we are here, we must love and respect one another as fellow Children of God, who are all a permanent resident of the Spiritual Realm as we are, but here on Earth they are as temporary as us. Someday when we all return to our True Home we will sit back and laugh at all the things that we took so seriously while on Earth. We will sit together and see how we faced challenges, grew from hardships, explored the various things that the material plane offers, learned from the experiences that we had on Earth and also how we loved one another. 

Many people who have had near-death experiences have stated that after the transition is made back to our True Home, the being of light at the end of the tunnel is only interested in two things - what did you learn about love? and How did you use the gifts I gave you to help the World? So, reflect on this for a while and do not worry about the problems you are facing. While we are on Earth everybody faces problems. These are meant to learn valuable spiritual lessons from. Every living thing on Earth (without exception) will someday eventually 'die' or make the transition back into the True Home, so do not worry! It is a natural part of life. It is only the uncertainty that we are afraid of. But believe me, you have experienced the transition many time before in previous incarnations. There is just a veil of amnesia that is surrounding you. 

When we return Home, we will look at our Earth lives like a movie that we starred in and use the lessons learnt to further our spiritual evolution.

Cosmic 'justice' in a nutshell

Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, for a minute just assume it is true. It is the perfect explanation for the so-called injustices at birth. Why are some born in very difficult situations and others born into easy situations? The seemingly unjust and unfair nature of destiny at birth has a very simple solution if you believe in reincarnation. The so called 'justice' meted out by God or Universe or Cosmic Spirit or Creator does not necessarily have to happen in this life. The 'justice' itself being the Universe's way of balancing out karma. The goal I feel is not punishment per se, it is actually a lesson. For those of you who believe it, essentially all souls are good and will return someday to their source. However, how long it takes and how many lessons need to be learnt varies from soul to soul. This is what I believe.
