It may also portray a picture of 10000000 or more bhakts listening to bapus or ma. But who attains spiritualism... what is the feeling... is it the sense of nothingness or is it the peace with nothingness. Is it nothingness? Or is it everything... Is it worth experiencing?????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Materialism is simpler to explain... easier to experience... wait did I say easier. We fight for life for a deadline, break hearts for meetings... we fear, we betray, we cheat, we lie, we agonise, we hate, we scold, we fight, we repent... every single moment of our lives for achieving or attaining our goals. Its no way easier. Step by step we move ahead in life with our ambitions always surpassing our achievements. The quest for more keeps the man moving, searching for better things in life and leading to a never ending development of humankind. But during this quest we all realize that 'survival of the fittest' is still the most practical rule man ever thought of. So we fight more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how does Spiritualism fit into this world... while doing all this and much more? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Spiritualism is within you, within me, within everyone... probably a huge feeling of satisfaction may resonate as a vague feeling of Spiritualism. But when do u get satisfaction? When you achieve something (&lt;strong&gt;Materialistic&lt;/strong&gt;) u get satisfied and that may reflect as a sense of peace... a vague representation of &lt;strong&gt;Spiritualism&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Does that mean that Materialism leads to Spiritualism????&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;...... to be continued&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26918748-114595609725596567?l=rejuvenationreclaimation.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rejuvenationreclaimation.blogspot.com/feeds/114595609725596567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26918748&amp;postID=114595609725596567' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26918748/posts/default/114595609725596567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26918748/posts/default/114595609725596567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rejuvenationreclaimation.blogspot.com/2006/04/materialistic-spiritualism.html' title='Materialistic Spiritualism'/><author><name>Ash</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12314652600772267176</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02447892975311282445'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>7</thr:total></entry></feed>
