Turning to Spirituality…

Why do certain people turn to spirituality in certain period or age and its irrespective of religion.

Now this ‘turning to spirituality’ is not the regular one like doing Pujas or offering prayers or attending mass.

This is the one, when we fed up with something, broke and then just try to find the solace, we look up to someone to calm ourselves.

If we go by the evolution, man, like many other living beings always tried to adapt to the changes and we are where we are now.

There are certain cues, we, as a new-born, teenager, adult or old convey what we think or want.

When a baby cries, its only urge is to get feed or get protected from something causing him some issue. No further expectations.

As an adult, when we try to go for that Guru, that preacher, philosopher, what is the actual need.

When we go deep, the basic needs of the new-born and an adult  or any living being are the same. Food, Protection and Reproduction.

Then why sudden urge to follow something or someone, knowing already what’s going to be taught and preached, as we are reading, listening and seeing it since our childhood.

Is it because, as an adult we are into many things [ relations, money, ego, competition] compared to the one totally new to the world. But if it is so, how come the new-born learnt to cry and get the attention. Is it not an indirect way to get the relief from something bothering him.

For him the universe turning to him to calm and as an adult we need to turn to the almighty.

We see many around us are going through what we are, but then why don’t they think, there is such need of reaching out to that Guru or the Almighty, why only people like us think so?

Is it just because we overthink, over react, not ready to let the things happen the way it needs to happen or accepting the flow of the nature.

If something is about to happen and destined, then how is to help turning to Him or them.

Also what they are going to tell is to ‘ACCEPT IT AS IT IS’ to relieve oneself from the troubles we are going through, then how come it’s going to help.

Why can’t we accept it, is it because we want someone to lean on, a shoulder to cry, open up or the fear of unknown, no knowledge or don’t want to face the reality.

Don’t know or may be don’t want to know.
