Spirituality

Short stories, conversations and some words of wisdom by wise men..... and of course, snippets of my spiritual journey :)

The journey begins...

I have changed from a non-believer to believer. I have been quite open to different theories regarding the ultimate and out of logical and intellectual reasoning had been a non-believer. But, in the process i became so attached to mind theories that i never really gave a chance for the heart. Yes, i think reasoning is more inclined towards the mind and faith more inclined towards the heart. Both are altogether different trips on their own. I tried one, now am trying to the other :). But mind you, my faith is in the ultimate, not on the mangled religion as i have known it till today. I guess in this process i will be discovering the true ideals of religion as well because ultimately all religions serve the same purpose.

My decision was not made overnight. It happened after some reading and personal experience! As far as reading goes the books initiating the change are

  • Autobiography of a yogi - Paramhansa Yogananda
  • Prayer of the frog - Anthony De Mello
  • One minute wisdom - Anthony De Mello
  • Wisdom of the ancients - Lobsang Rampa
  • Encounter the enlightened - Jaggi Vasudev
