Set The Ambience For Your Growth | Sadhguru #shorts

Sure, by the title, this would sound like it is going to be a complex article, but it is not at all. It is the simplest subject in the world. In fact I can say the title of this should have been “Life is activated energy” but consider this, the article would have ended where the title began with all the questions answered, but, not in detail like I am going to do.

The Bible describes pride as sin. Pride goes before destruction (Prov. 16:18), puts one in an undesirable relationship with God (1 Peter 5:5; James 4:6), and will yield a regrettable end (Prov. 29:23). Nebuchadnezzar was judged for his proud spirit (Dan. 4), Haman was beset with pride (Esther 5), and Pharaoh fell because of it. God promises to humble the proud (Matt. 23:12).

There are those times in our lives when we shut our ears, our eyes and our senses to good reason. We create a barrier in our minds for reasons that make perfect logic to us but no sense at all to the world at large. These are difficult times and we turn to miss out on many things, especially those things that we desire because of our insular approach.

Spiritual growth is a constant throughout life and unto death. This is our extension into another world and beyond and there is no better teacher to offer us tutelage than God. Once we accept him in our lives this growth is endless and never ages. There are several aspects to take into consideration once we begin attending this mysterious school of God.

Some images from the past continue to linger and echo in humans especially imprinted on tender minds. They are unforgettable. Some losses are irreparable like a stretch of greenery at the back of the house removed for short term gains. In childhood being oblivious to the exact date and time of these sites coming into existence is a bliss. It remains a divine bliss to focus on just the wild jinxed growth of climbers thickened to their full and presenting a maze of winding twisting boughs entangled to hide the modern chaos behind it.

Jesus taught spiritual truths by using physical metaphors. One of his teachings was about putting new wine into old wine skins. Was this actually about wine or was he trying to teach spiritual truth?

But life can change on a dime. Life can be trudging along minding its own mundane business until one day… Peter, the man who faced down the mighty waves that others feared, learned what fear really was. He learned his hardest lessons in a garden and by a fire.

Every day we watch the news on television or read a newspaper. Sometimes we leave the radio on so that we have a bit of company and know what is going on in the world. But the tendency for these programmes is to tell us all the bad news and none of the good. Occasionally they might throw in a good news story for good measure, but the most important thing for the media is to attract viewers, readers, listeners, and sad to say, bad news attracts an audience more than good.

The best way to start any day is with God. Spend a few moments when you wake up thinking about all the good things in your life and thank the Lord that you have them. If there are matters bothering you at the present time, focus God´s loving grace on them and be surprised at the speed with which they depart. God will heal you and restore you, no matter how hard life seems. Just a short muttered prayer, perhaps the Lord´s prayer or something else, will give you the strength you need to begin the day.

Everyone walked into the hotel and said, “Oh my God!” The hotel was a mess. All of us attending the conference were expecting a luxury hotel and what we found was a construction site. “Perfect” I thought! What a wonderful symbol of what will be happening this weekend and what happens each day as we shift from a material perception to a Spiritual Perception.

These days we tend to fear all the wrong things. We fear losing our jobs or our businesses, we fear not being able to get the holiday we want or the car we crave. Sometimes we fear the things that people are saying about us, or we fear the thought of falling ill. The truth is that in the course of a life, all these things that we spend so much time being fearful about, do not amount to much. The only fear we need in our lives is the fear of God. When we put God first in all things, all the other stuff seems to sort itself out.

One of the signs of spiritual awakening is experiencing what I call “repeating incidents” (particularly when they’re somewhat out of the ordinary). This sign occurs to get your attention and help point you in the right direction on your life path. Three real-life examples of this sign of awakening are given in this article.
