Relationship between Spirituality and a Desire for Inclusive
Growth
-
Do you think there is a link between spiritual search and
the desire for inclusive growth?
The very basis of spirituality is inclusiveness, because
exclusiveness comes because of physicality, because physicality means
boundaries, boundaries means explosiveness. Boundaries means you are on
one side, I’m on the other side. Spirituality means going beyond the
physical, going beyond the physical naturally means going beyond
boundaries, going beyond boundaries is inclusiveness, isn’t it?
Right now people are struggling to think in
exclusively. That struggle is not needed
if your experience of life becomes absolutely inclusive. That is the
spiritual process.
-
Is it going boundary less or making a greater boundary?
Boundary –less. Non-physical means boundaryless.
-
Is spirituality the only way forward or can non-spiritual
people also have a dire of inclusive growth?
There is no one who is non-spiritual.
Either you can be consciously spiritual or non-consciously spiritual. Can
you just be physical? There are other dimensions of who you are.
Physical is what you have gathered over a period of time, is that
so? Whatever you gathered is can be yours but it cannot be you, isn’t it?
Right now you sit on this stone and say this is my stone. After some time,
if you sit long enough, you say, “this is me”. That is madness, isn’t it?
That is what is happening with your body and your mind.
Whatever you collect, whatever you accumulate it can be yours but
it can never be you. If you get out of that foolishness, if you get out of
that illusion, then you are spiritual. Whatever you are not conscious of
does not exist for you, that is a problem with life, isn’t it?
Right now behind you a huge elephant is standing. Don’t turn back
and see! Such a big animal; you are not conscious of it so it does not
exist for you, isn’t it? Life is like this, only what you are aware of
exists for you, what you are not aware of does not exist for you.
Spiritual process means that whatever this is [the whole you], you are
aware of; that you do not want to leave this piece of life unexplored,
that you want to know it through and through. That is the spiritual
process.
