In recent years, the spirituality It has gained a relevance that, although it has always had, now has another nuance thanks to the means by which its notions and concepts are disseminated. For many of us this aspect is now as important as good nutrition, physical exercise or the health of our minds and our personal relationships.
Curiously, from a certain perspective it is possible to say that unlike those other aspects of wellnessspirituality is not totally a matter of the will, something that arises with a decision (such as a diet or exercise routine). Of course we can read about it, approach people who are spiritually in a state different from ours, perform certain associated practices (such as yoga or meditation), but there is also a whole field of spirituality that is related to it.to life itselfits contingency, the path we travel and what we find in the course of events.
In this sense, we now share a list of 6 points that characterize a spiritual master, a person who, whether or not he is aware of it, goes around the world not telling us which way to gobut teaching us how to find ours.
1. You avoid judging others
Each person has to go his own way. There are those who reach certain points before others; there are those who take longer to understand certain things; We don’t all live the same thing at the same time. And when we realize this singularity in the processes of each person, then there is no reason to judge others and neither ourselves, because each one will live what they have to live when they have to and can live it.
2. You are sensitive, but not reactive
We all feel the emotions own and those of others, but the difference is how do we respond to them. In many cases, our immediate reaction is to let ourselves be carried away by that emotion, to let it wash over us and sweep us away. In contrast, people with a developed sense of spirituality are characterized by feeling emotion, but not letting emotion cover everything. Feeling sadness or joy or happiness but understanding that they are not totally that sadness or that joy or that happiness. That these are an emotion, a moment, a part of everything else.
3. You teach naturally
a real master is always teaching. With his words and with his actions, in a friendly conversation or in a class with all the formalities. There are people to whom we can listen for just a few minutes, or watch how they conduct themselves in life, and that is enough for us to learn something crucial, that we could not have found in other circumstances.
4. You are all love
Yes, we know it sounds a bit cheesy, but that’s the reality. The cultivation of spirituality is, to a large extent, the cultivation of love, its exercise, the understanding that contrary to what we believe, love is not «given» only to a partner, a child or a pet, but that it is actually in everything we do. Living is inseparable from loving.
5. Possession disbeliefs
What really belongs to us? what is really important? To answer these questions is to realize that many of the things to which we feel attached, or over which we believe we have «ownership», are actually or they are not ours or they are not really important. And then it is possible to let go of them.
6. You respect life
It is possible that even what we believe «our» life is not such. It is possible that we ourselves are just an instant, a fragment, of another big flow that runs through everything else that also exists, breathes and participates in this very moment.
