“I don’t want too many complications in my spiritual journey. Can I just have simple, straightforward, clean spirituality?”
“I don’t want to commit myself to any group or follow some strict rules and regulations.”
This is exactly how a modern man wants to think. He wants hassle-free spirituality which he can easily follow and practice.
Many seekers who visited me had absolutely no knowledge of Sanskrit or even the holiest of the scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita.
When you say, “Tell me something very simple that I need to do. I can’t join these yoga classes or meditation sessions since I have a shortage of time.”
I hear you.
So come to me and I will teach you spiritual in very simple terms. No yoga, no meditation or retreats for you. Just be yourself and relax. We will just follow the devotional path which is easy and simple.
There are many types of seekers in this brand of Hinduism or Sanatan Dharma. But our own brand is far removed from rites, rituals, restrictions, conformity, and rigidity. Let’s say it’s a relaxed way of becoming spiritually inclined.
We will divide this into 3-4 categories so that you can see where you fit in. The first is for children from ages 6-16. They might not have been properly exposed to spiritual. They are a confused lot since they have just followed what their ignorant parents had taught them. We should endeavour to introduce them to simple concepts about God, religion, spiritual states, the universe, sin, etc., and help them understand spiritual in a very simple format.
The next would be a young adult who is confused, stressed out, anxious, job hungry, seeking true love, wanting billions, reaching for stars, dissatisfied and disgusted with life. He seeks the truth and is willing to learn. But he hates exercise and discipline, has constant weight and health issues, goes through multiple heartbreaks, etc. He desires simple explanations to complex situations and simple solutions. We can offer him that.
Further on, we are confronted with middle-aged people and those about to retire. Their problems are more connected to failures and disappointments in life. Loans and other financial messes, children’s debt, looming retirement and their biggest worry is health related. These are seekers of a different type. They are egoistic and self-centered individuals who do not care for others’ opinions.
Retirement is an age when man wants to hang up his boots and relax. Most of them end up doing additional labour and lead a miserable life. What are they supposed to do with their remaining life?
Offering these folks a look into their future life is important, as is helping them to reach their lifetime destination. Since they haven’t had the time to look at esoteric sciences, we offer them a spiritual journey through which they can learn about their unknown future lifetimes.
Last but not least are the womenfolk. From age 16 to 80, they are a wider audience. For them, life has been unregulated. Women have unique issues which cannot be ignored and sidelined. Men cannot understand what women go through.
We offer women a release from the painful life that they lead. Solutions to women’s issues are available in spiritual, so we offer them that.
I have covered a broad spectrum of seekers and aspirants who can benefit from the Change My Way Of Life teachings we offer.
In the next chapter we will discuss individual cases from the above four.
