A person with a habit injurious to the physical self will wake up to the reality of ill health at a later stage. Craving for riches and attempts to possess them through short cut will be jolted by the ensuing financial calamity. Yet, the power of myth is such, most fall a victim to its peril. One may ask himself an important and curious question. Well, it turns out that there may not be any such indication.
Man is spiritual by nature.
Firmly believing in this should naturally convince the self to give utmost importance to the means through which such a self is realized. Great souls of our times like Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Sri Ramana Maharshi were fortunate to realize this at the right time and more importantly, pertinent enough to pursue it. As long as one ascribes spiritual pursuit to a separate path parallel to the material life, this can not be achieved. It should be convinced that spiritual self is the ultimate truth that is magnificent and the material, just trivial. I'd like to share the following moment, one of the innumerable times that I have felt close to Baba.
