How to become a successful person in the spiritual world is the main question of the spiritual seekers! In order to be a successful person in the field of spirituality, one must develop lot of patience, confidence, bhakti, will-power, selflessness, helping tendency etc. Apart from that, he has to understand the concepts of spirituality by reading from our ancient holy texts of Hinduism. For becoming a big spiritual person, there is no need to visit Mount Himalayas and meditate there for several years! Just with some amount of self-control, we could be able to achieve it.
At the present situation, though it is very difficult to survive in the world, as a “Successful person in Spirituality” in our Hindu religion, we have to put tremendous efforts, and must express our strong faith on our holy “SANATANA DHARMA” to the people, in order to make them to understand that we are their well-wishers. The great Krishna avatar, Sri Swaminarayan himself, moved cordially with the then British Government, and hence he received full support from them for the strong development of the “SWAMINARAYAN MOVEMENT”.
Some big Hindu spiritual personalities might also be threatened by some political parties, if they didn’t agree for their deal! Still in such situations, the spiritual personalities must interact with those people in a calm manner, and must express their point of views softly, gently and obediently, so that, even the nature of the bad minded people would be turned into good!
During the rule of the divine avatars like Rama, Krishna and Prahlada, Hindu religion only was there, and no other religions were prevailed at that time, and hence the questions of religious clashes were not there at that time.However, we can pray to the divine mother Ma Shakti Devi to give sufficient strength, bravery and wisdom to shine well in our spiritual career. But if we choose the spiritual career as our main profession, then we cannot expect to gain sufficient wealth from that, since most of the spiritual institutions are being formed without profit motive.
Even in spiritual field, some amount of hatred, enmity and jealously would be there, but without considering those things, we have to be firm on our decision, to take spirituality as our only profession. And due to the grace of the god, we could also get our daily bread and butter without much difficulty. Lot of youngster’s who belong to our Holy Hinduism, must come forward to shine well in the spiritual career, and they must reach the top of the spiritual ladder in a step by step manner only, and once if they reach the top, then they would never fall!
