10 Simple Tips to live an Inspired Spiritual Life!


Inspiration has such amazing power. Inspiration boosts our enthusiasm to exert our physical,mental and intellectual faculties to the utmost. Inspiration gives us the optimism to joyfully pursue in our endeavors till we reach the goal. It makes even the biggest hurdles appear puny.

Let ponder over the many ways of building our level of inspiration, to lead an inspired life, filled with devotion to God and Guru.

1. Everyday revise and contemplate upon the Divine knowledge you have received from the Guru and the Vedic Scriptures.

2. Look on the human form as a rare opportunity granted to the soul, and consider its every moment as very precious for reaching the goal.

3. Realize how rare it is to find a true Guru and the proper path. Firmly decide to utilize this golden chance to the maximum.

4. Intensify your detachment by deciding that the world is not yours, nor is there any happiness in it.

5. Stir up your hunger for God by thinking that you are a tiny part of him, and to love and serve him is the highest goal of your life.

6. Deeply yearn to possess the wonderful Divine virtues such as humility and giving, which will naturally develop with selfless Divine love.

7. Read about the great Saints, and derive inspiration from their complete absorption in God  and faith in Him.

8. Keep a spiritual dairy; note in it the inspirational thoughts you come across; and then revise them daily whenever you get the time.

9. Choose to be inspired by exercising your free will and forcing the intellect and mind in that direction, giving up laziness and laxity.

10. See other sadhaks and goad yourself, "We both joined the satsang at the same time. If he has so progressed rapidly, I must do the same "Material jealousy pulls down our consciousness. But if jealousy is spiritualized, it becomes constructive
and inspires us to move ahead.
