WHY TO BE SPIRITUAL?


Logic only tells us what we see with our perceptual mind. Might be we believe, what we see, but it doesn’t address everything we have in our life. Even the most devoted observer must admit that we have no hope of understanding the universe. Some things always remain unknowable to us

This, I think has actually happened to our society in Pakistan where losing of spiritual values has resulted as a freeze in the way of propagation of love, values and humanity.

The fading of emotional support through Sufism, tolerance, festivals and spiritual devotional  dance and songs over shrines has affected our culture a way that an average Pakistani seems to be disturbed today even after studying throughout their life.

In this situation, the time might come when the knowledge and the man knowing that knowledge might come to an end. The common people hate and the elite remain unsatisfied from spiritualism. This is the era of that situation in our life. It is all about power, politics and money, which people have come to use as replacement of hope these days.

The result is the emergence of mind that think the admiration of saints and its devotional singing and dancing as a unforgiving sin and curse for the society.

In Pakistan, Government neither supervises the spiritual sciences nor encouraged the trend of specialized social institutions cultivating the spiritual learners having tolerance for the society. This negligence has also resulted in a mindset having  silence or otherwise acceptance for the militants bombing dozens of Sufi shrines and killing hundreds of worshipers since 2005. Most worst is the fact that this has now even prompted devotees of the typically nonviolent and politically inactive sect to begin preparing for battle with them.

It’s now the time for our government to decide which way they want to destine their society or otherwise it’s never.
