One World, Two Realms

The creation of this universe and everything within it is mysterious, yet phenomenal at the same time. We, human beings, actually live parallel lives in two different worlds: the physical world, and the spiritual world, there exists an immense disparity between the two.

The natural or physical realm is referred to as “Newtonian” realm of existence. The physical realm is limited to what one can perceive in the surrounding material world through senses. It is the realm where everything is transient and ephemeral and can be explained through the laws of physics. 

On the contrary, you might have heard about another world which though does not exist in our physical. But, it does occupy a significant place beyond our physical world. In that world that we refer to as the spiritual world, is the place of an unending existence and of transcendent importance. That transcendent world is “the world of realization”, there exists the real essence and core of all our matters. It is an ethos of a small hand-picked group of elite. Those blessed entities, although, fraught with difficulties, are more focused, the most determined and highly passionate souls. In the journey towards that world, many go slowly, some go moderately and then few goes with the speed of a whirlwind.

Certain defining characteristics of such mystical entities are; talking about the wider reality, describing the indescribable, and looking into an infinite. They are always erudite, shows reverent love for the Divine, and maintains consciousness of the un-manifest world all the time. These peculiarities offer a panacea that cures all the ills of being.

While living in a highly materialistic and acquisitive society, we often consumed by resentment, enmity, and rivalry to satisfy corporeal beings. As soon as we realize the transient nature of this world, it gives an incentive and induce us to seek for the truth that will not lead you astray.
