Spirituality is nothing out of the world. There is no division between what's spiritual and what's material.
Attaining a spiritual level is simply recognising that there is life everywhere, that there is spirit everywhere.
The finest aspect of matter is spirit. The gross aspect of spirit is matter. It's like the body and mind. You see through the eyes, but actually the eyes are the means through which the mind sees. The mind is the spirit. The whole world is combination of spirit and matter.
The creation and the creator are not separated. The creation is formed out of the creator, just like dance comes out of the dancer. Prayer is to be amazed - looking at the cosmos and saying wow, how many planets! How many stars! How big is this universe!
The scripture also says that there are three kinds of space. 'Bhutakash' is the physical space, 'chitakash' is where the thoughts flow, the mental space and 'chidakash', is the final space, the space of consciousness. So go from one space to other and from there to the final space.
Seeing yourself in this big creation shifts you to a different level of consciousness. One of the scriptures of the ancient India says there are almost 112 ways of realising consciousness. One of them is to observe the sky on a clear day, and let go and relax.
Billions of years have passed since existence began on earth. Compared to it, the span of human life is about 80 years or 100 years. In this vast space, where are we? Close your eyes and ask yourself who you are? You will get no answer. All you will get is space, and that is what you are.
Once we leave the spirit, the mind leaves this body. Once out of the body, the mind cannot be cleansed. It cannot be rid of any thoughts. The body is the instrument or the space where past impressions can be washed off. When clarity comes, mind becomes as sharp and powerful as the laser beam. And in that mind, an intention fructifies very fast. That mind also has capacity to heal and to elevate itself. It is full of joy, ease and love.
Your entire past is a dream. Just remember all the activities you did in the morning after waking up. Isn't it all like a dream? It wasn't more than a dream because it was a memory and impression. See your whole past as a dream. In the next 10-20 years, you will be doing many things and they will all pass like a dream. Being aware of this, the space within us starts to open up and we start experiencing heightened awareness. You start seeing another dimension of life. Just wake up!
