There’s an elephant in the room that nobody seems to be bothered about.
Several of spiritually aware people are often depressed and anxious. Why is that so? Why aren’t they happy and peaceful as they ought to be?

I made it part of my work to inspire and support people to take up Spiritual practices and meditation. But where did that lead me?
#spirituality #meditation

Most of the people I encountered were those who have become depressed, anxious, psychotic, eccentric, maniac, and even suicidal. Now my focus has shifted from Spirituality and I am more concerned about such people.

A person I spoke to said that he subscribed to the practices of a large organization, which even has a call-center type system to help their practitioners face such problems because of their practices.

It seems that he tried many times but none of those people even remotely understood what he was going through, and he gave up.

He told me that he quit his job, was in a constant state of anxiety, sleepless, and so on. A very young boy under 25. I didn’t know what to do; but then I mustered up courage and started speaking to him.

It’s simple, really; if an organization cannot own up to the trouble their prescriptions might have caused to someone, I don’t think they have the right to continue harming people.

Do we want a paranoid, depressed, and anxious society in the name of Spirituality? Haven’t religions done enough of that already knowingly or unknowingly?

Yes, it is a clear possibility. Please tread with caution, and do not practice anything blindly just looking at the serene pictures of those meditation models posing in the gardens and the beaches.

If a Master cannot take ownership of the consequences of his teaching to a student, he has no moral authority to teach him Spirituality.

Remember our Guru-Shishya parampara in earlier days where they literally adopted the disciples? Well, that system was there for a reason.
