...A topic on how sometimes we lose the clarity between factual - practical and spiritual the "transcendental" thoughts.

This happens to everyone, I'm sure...and it becomes frustrating when we have to knock ourselves back to the real materialistic world. I have a hard time maintaining/retaining the balance, and end up with confused/conflicted ideas. Being balanced is required to survive in this world, atleast for professional needs. Sometimes I fail and wish to convert and become a nun or a monk for the rest of my life. It isnt feasible either... so I live like a monk in my daily routine and am seeing that this is affecting my thought processes!!!

Do I make sense to you readers?

Anyways, your opinions, and if you face the same, how do you manage? :)

Thankyou!

Oh yes. most of us go up and down from being good to bad etc , but I guess the circle will slowly get smaller and smaller. Enjoy life but do not over indulge they say, warnings come in the form of pain and suffering. Even religion and spirituality can be over done.😆 So the Angel and the Devil have to be balanced.

we always influenced by our surroundings even if its against our will
But dont let yourself down because XYZ has judged you or tormented you!
when you will be a senior and will look back at your life...many things will make you realise your deeds...but wouldnt like to remember that you indeed had a wonderful life??
dont you think the monk and nun have penalties like any other normal human??

I feel for most of the times I stay at home for the sake of my parents.

No no... I am past the XYZs.. it happens everyday, everytime, with everyone including parents - but, it's just the outside me - my peripheral self that everyone's judging...so, it doesnt bother me at all.

Life is wonderful, but my whole point was the blurring of thoughts -- the ones that make sense to the material world - for my career pursuits ; and the inner thoughts that incline to so-called 'spirituality' . The former is essential to survive and get and pursue the career I want. But, it's becoming harder and harder... my thought processes are losing the difference, I keep trying though, to get some grip on mind/heart.

Hope i made sense now 😆

@zorrro & anael24..

😆 Summary - I am not articulate. 😆

And yes, this unbalanced state of mind is bothering me w.r.t career 😆 ...urmmm.. how do I say.

As I social being, one is supposed to think one way. If I keep going "khuda ki marzi" for everything, it'll affect my career which requires man to think rationally, have a realistic practical, a social outlook on life. My realistic outlook is becoming "khuda ki marzi" which conflicts with the career pursuits, it scares me too - how I'll survive, how I'll support my children in the ever materialistic world...anyways nvm. It's only making me sound weird, it feels weird inside, and sounds even more weird when expressed...

MODS, close this topic please 😆

Hey dont get the topic closed!

Does being spiritual have to interfere with career? How? Lack of concentration or clash of interest or is it due to some other practical problems?

HAVE TO? IDK... but when it does, it is a pain in the neck! Becomes HARD to align and re-orient my thoughts.

How?

The very approach to certain issues, the society, the world!! .. like, for example, I had experienced this 'clash' when I was thinking about people with disabilties.

PWDs face so much mental and psychological stress that, I have read, that some mental or developmental disablilities wish to go back to their asylums after their discharge as they cannot put up with the kind of discrimination they face at home itself. My argument wasthere would never have been the issue of PWDs had there been more love among people in general... PWDs would have been just like anyone else. But in such issues one is ought to have a more rational, feasible, viable(?) opinions like such-and-such should be done to give aid to PWDs. This is just a very loose example. Personal opinions clashing with realistic/sane opinions I think. I am becoming oddd day by day, my personal feelings dominate everything...so much so I look anti-social and paradoxical(mental to others) in certain aspects when I am not! I feel I have lost the balance.

IDK if this the combined effect of other problems, but, I never saw anything as a problem, atleast now I dont.

anyways, leave it zorrro 😆 I am unable to say lol... thankyouu!! :):)

I totally agree with what you felt about PWD and dont find anything anti-social about it at all. 😊 That opinion need not stop from trying to find a solution to the problem.
