Religion / Wise Men Seek Depth Over Survival by Mistral(m): 10:00am On Aug 20 |
There has always been two lives - the outer and the inner. Wise men place more priority on the inner life than the outer one because the inner life is the foundation of one's destiny and determines what quality his/her life would be. As boring as it may sound, you aren't just a body but a spirit and soul with a consciousness beyond the existence around you. If you believe you're just a mere body, then your life and existence would only be to care for your body neglecting your soul and spirit thereby living a meaningless and mediocre life. Your gifts, wealth and intelligence would all be in vain and eventually leave you wanting. Society teaches you to prioritize the external life more than the internal but when you come across someone with more aura than you, you feel jealous and resentful. This is because you didn't prioritize your inner life as much as he did. You also aren't even be as self aware as he was nor spiritually sound. You feel cheated as you admire that quality but lack it in yourself which brings you discomfort and feelings of inadequacy. Put it in mind that society lies and doesn't want you to truly flourish as that makes you a challenge to it's crooked ways. It wants you to remain asleep to your individual growth and spiritual fulfillment. It urges you to focus more on superficial things instead, it advertises you the latest gadgets, tastiest foods and comfort to keep you in check and ensure you don't develop spiritually. It lowers your consciousness to that of the lower creatures and keeps you an average man - a mindless follower to the system he finds himself. The knowledge society also provides you with isn't the one to aid your spiritual growth but to make you a nerd proficient only at handling societal demands. But this doesn't always have to be the case, it doesn't have to linger on, so far you are alive, you can still alter your reality to the truth - your spiritual development. Always remember that spirituality enriches your life more than intelligence or strength alone. You have more to gain by being spiritually aware than by living your life like the lower creatures around you. Animals hunt for food, safety, sex and shelter, they have very little concern for spirituality and do not care about fulfillment. No one judges or ridicules them, but people who live in such manner are often ridiculed due to the meaningless that stem from their lack of depth and aura. To be immortal is to have more depth. The more depth a thing has, the more reverence we give it. It is easier to kill a fly than a dog because a dog in our eyes has more value even if it doesn't share it's value with us. The presence of it's value alone is enough for us to regard it to be important. The same applies to people who we consider to be full of depth. They may or may not share their depth with us but we cherish their presence and treat them with reverence. But look at the average intellectuals and strong men we have today or have had in the past, a majority of them weren't regarded as much as those who were more spiritually inclined because their intellectualism or strength didn't go beyond what people are used to - what society indoctrinates. They are still average in spite of their gifts in the eyes of people. This is because true intelligence and strength isn't gotten merely from books or daily affairs, it is gotten from one's depth of spirituality and understanding of the existential truths of life. Truth itself is intelligence and an intelligent person is someone who tells the truth, his arguments cannot be refuted nor condemned as it will always prove itself eventually. All other kinds of intelligence always give way to truth because it is the ultimate form of intelligence. To live in truth is to be intelligent and this makes you intimidating to those who believe otherwise but simultaneously give you the insight you need to forge your own path to fulfillment regardless of what society preaches. As a rule, a spiritual person always find greater meaning and fulfillment in various aspects of life compared to someone who relies solely on their intellect, charisma or strength. Deep down, everyone has an innate desire for internal fulfillment, even if they may not recognize it right away. We all strive for meaning in our actions but that depth doesn't emerge from simply engaging in daily activities such as work, play and sleep. Instead, we must cultivate it within ourselves through practices like meditation, reading sacred texts and tirelessly applying them to our lives. Knowledge paired with courage leads to transformative change. When we apply the truths we learn, our lives improve significantly, creating an authentic aura that cannot be faked but brings us admiration. Ignorant people would tell you otherwise and perpetuate stereotypes about you and others like you to convince themselves of their own superiority but would understand better when they feel the depth of your aura or when life takes a toll on them. You don't have to worry about others' opinions of you but to focus on your development as you are your own priority. Consider the pyramid of needs in the image below. Many people only reach the third tier, overlooking the higher tiers that bring true fulfillment. The basic need for food, water, shelter and money while essential, cater primarily to the body and do very little for the soul. This often lead most people to live only to survive, never seeking to break free from their familiar circumstances which makes their existence to be average, meaningless and sterile. However, your story can be different. As long as you are alive, you can infuse your life with meaning by pursuing the truths of existence. Where you focus your attention shapes your reality and influences who you become. Seek a connection with God through prayer, meditation and scripture; there is always more to gain from this relationship and never forget to put the knowledge into practice courageously. Knowledge without courage is sterile. Engaging in these practices enhances your aura and elevates your standing among others. A strong aura attracts blessings, far more than just hard work or social interactions ever could. Others will also sense your depth, leading to admiration, respect and favour, making it easier for you to achieve your earthly goals. In conclusion, seeking spiritual fulfillment goes beyond just getting by; it's about truly living. In our busy lives, taking time for spirituality can help us find purpose and connection. By focusing on what nurtures our spirit, we open doors to personal growth and happiness beyond what society can ever provide. If you want to, you can share your thoughts below.

You might have purchased an item (airtime, data, e.t.c) from their flexi loan without realizing. When you purchase palmpay products that fall under your flexi loan amount, palmpay initially deduct the payment from their flexi loan option leaving your main balance intact and putting you in debt without interest until you pay up. The next time you want to purchase palmpay products, make sure you adjust the setting of the payment option from "flexi" to "palmpay balance" so that the money eill be deducted from your main balance and not the flexi loan. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

People have adapted fantasies to replace real life experiences as a coping mechanism to how they would have preferred their lives to be.
