Why does my spiritual accomplishment be appreciated by anyone other than me? There are spiritual masters in Himalayas who can care less, as to what we think of them. Other than attracting followers to boost one's ego a spiritual master should not care. I can understand some spiritual masters want to share their knowledge (may be genuine), but majority is not like that.

Swami Tapovan Maharaj could not understnad the mission of Swami Chinmayananda of spreading spiritual knowledge (according to Swami Chinmayananda).

Shri Prasad,

The concern is not just about wailing for spirituality not been given its due weight age and appreciated, out of Ego emerging out of Theists who all are into spiritual practices. The concern is not about others appreciating one's belief in God and spiritual practices.

The concern is all about highlighting the significance and potential of Spirituality that alone can keep humans as humans. And there is nothing wrong to voice this concern considering the over all betterment of Human species in a right direction.

Spiritual masters in Himalayas may be meditating a lot and praying the Supreme being/Supreme Conscious and seek their mercy upon Humans who all are surviving in the materialistic and challenging world of human survival. All the spiritual masters on Himalayas have care and concern about the Souls, making its survival in this Maya Loka. They are Self Less Souls and praying for the elimination of cruelty in Human survival among the humans OR at least minding their own spiritual practices away from this survival of Kama and Lobha.

Here, in this virtual world , at least we can voice our concern about upholding Spirituality in its true spirit, considering its potential significance. We are neither Yogis nor Drohies (in the sense of not intending harm to fellow humans), when we attempt to highlight the significance of spiritual energies . So, we can share our concern with fellow humans in our real as well as virtual world, out of our love and care towards the whole human society.

Prasad,

Spiritual masters do not and should not care about their own accomplishments. But the point is that the society should care. This is because society should be inclined towards what is right. It shouldn't get a wrong picture about spirituality and hence totally abandon it or worse still, degrade it.

Dear Sravna,

Good topic..in fact I had bought a book from Ramakrishna Ashram that covers the same topic.

When I get the time..I will read it and share it with you guys here.

Scientific work is accorded great status because people see them work. Now see the irony. A spiritual feat such as transcending of desires or emotions is rarely projected as a herculean accomplishment. IMO, one who does the latter can easily perform the former and not vice versa. The irony is spiritual feats are so rarely seen to work that any proclamation of its achievement is interpreted as a bogus claim.

Sri. Sravna, Greetings.

Not all the scientific efforts work. Only such works that were found economically viable and worked safely had been released to the public. Companies invest large amounts of money in research and development only because not all of the developments work; sometimes it takes years to develop a product.

Transcending desires or emotions is not a spiritual feat. Transcending those desires is the desire of the person.. so, that person only indulged in his/her desire when transcended a particular desire. Why should that be accepted as a feat? All those persons who wanted to transcend a desire only because they had a desire to do it.

Spiritual feat, in my opinion is, a person lives with noble thoughts for others and care for others. Personally, I would salute that as a feat.

Cheers!

Dear Shri Raghy,

The status of science is because, not only has it been able to show results but also achieve those results because of a systematic process. So if science has been able to show results only but not been able to logically explain how it arrived at the results, just as in pure intuition only, then its failures would have been lot more magnified and science would not be enjoying the status that it does now. This is because only by logical explanations we really make others accept our ideas.

Regarding spiritual feat, I accept noble thoughts are very important. But when you are not able to control your emotions or desires, you are very less likely to have such thoughts. They cloud your thinking and make you go astray. So what I say is the cause and what you say is the effect.
