Brave Souls

They ask me to say something about Guru Gobind Singh;

They ask what is He to me?

I tremble when they ask, "What is He to me?"

I think of history,

Wars, fierceness & days of victories; 

Warriorship that raised generations,

Courage, which had no limitations.

I learnt early,

When things get tough

Don't be girly

When up against trouble,

Meet it squarely, 

Burst the bubble;

Set the shoulders,

Plant your feet,

Take a brace,

And that's how & when,

I remember a Guru's face.

How A Person Can Be Spiritually Inclined?

If you are a person who’s alive & breathing, you are spiritual, and when you realize the consciousness that runs your body, you become spiritually inclined. It is not difficult. Being spiritually inclined also doesn’t that you do anything extra than what you are doing right now. It just implies that you become conscious of your thoughts, words, and actions; not do anything that harms others and are in a constant mode of being aware of your connection with the almighty power.

How Does A Spiritually Inclined Person Behave?

1.     Sensibly, obviously! A spiritually inclined person is in control of emotions, doesn’t let the situations or unpleasant circumstances empower his or her virtues. He/she tries to see good in everybody, doesn’t let pride get better of him or her.

2.     For the situations beyond control, a spiritually inclined person wouldn’t fret too much. He/she would learn to go with the flow, develop a positive attitude, and favor the problem-solving attitude.

3. He would have a disciplined routine, with no exceptions. If you consider the life of yogis, one common habit that every one of them has is getting up early, mostly before sunrise. The scientific reason for it is that it allows you to set your internal body clock with the sun and fix up the tone of your day. Art of Living has dedicated a whole page on the virtues of being an early riser.

4. He would meditate in the morning and during the day, as and when time permits. For us mortal beings, the mind is a curious thing that keeps on running from one thought/feeling/action to another. So it becomes imperative to keep it busy in creating positive, purposeful, and powerful thoughts. If you need help in finding some positive affirmations, the following images can help you. They have the power to make you feel spiritually inclined while adding to self-worth and love for fellow human beings. 

 5. He would make sure that the food he gives to the body is both nutritious and light. Fat-filled, junk or non-vegetarian food ignites the aggressiveness in the body. It is unnatural, creates obstacles in digestive ability, and gives rise to the diseases of obesity, heart ailments, high cholesterol, upset stomach, and other issues. Besides, no matter how much you cook and add spices to your food, it is still not cool to eat a dead body. And not to remind, the ruthless corona pandemic, which brought the whole world to a halt, began because some people chose to eat infected bats somewhere and passed on the virus to the entire globe.

6.      A spiritually inclined person would be gracious in accepting mistakes, will learn from the past, and try hard not to repeat them. If accepting mistakes is problematic for you, maybe this image below can help.
