Spiritual Goals

Spiritual goals can make us better human beings

We set goals to lose inches, to accumulate pounds and dollars, to turn our company around or to vote out a ruling party. But we dont set spiritual goals. Why? Is it because our body is more important than the soul? Or the soul is too abstract an entity to be cared for?

One doesnt know. However, just as we set goals for our worldly pleasures, we should set goals for our soul too. This is what wise men have taught us for centuries, but we have not followed. Maybe, if we do we may become different beings.

What we need to remember is that spiritual goals are not in competition with our daily life. However, just as our body benefits from cleansing, exercise and caring, so does our spirit. We find time for basics like brushing our teeth and combing our hair. So, why cant we find the time for spiritual basics like contemplation and meditation?

Spiritual development is very personal. Everyone must find his own truth. That in itself is one of the biggest goals. It teaches us not to become attached to the worldly goals because they are all relative, and which we will leave behind when we leave the earth.

Spiritual goals like other goals require endurance. We should know our purpose and focus on it with full concentration. Masters down the ages have reached enlightenment not by blurting Eureka but through focused seeking.

Spiritual goals are intangible and therefore we can never measure them. However, we can always review our spiritual goals periodically like we review other goals, and reward ourselves if we feel that we have made some progress on the spiritual path.

We must remember that the creator is within us and that our goals will make us travel inwards to him. There can be no bigger reward than this.
