Let me share my thoughts on spirituality. Below are the principles I arrived at:
1. All spiritual effort is not wasted.
2. There is a destination but the journey is more important. The destination may not be reachable, that is, heaven, nirvana, satori, syurga, valhalla, brahman. When in the journey in this earthly existence, make full use of your vehicle (body and mind).
3. Each person is for himself and utlimately only the mind exists.
4. "you" go in one big circle and finally "you" come back to "yourself".
Isn't this a wonderful adventure? It is like a person being presented with a buffet table spread. He goes round to try this and that, absorbs in the wonderful sight of delicious food and chooses the most delicious food. But he can only eat so much! So if he is wiser, he will just settle for a la carte and order a single meal that satisfies his hunger.
5. There is interconnectedness in everything. How they are connected is due to conditions coming together. You are one of the conditions.
6. Hope and faith keep a person going, no matter what had happened, good or bad.
7. The phenomenon of death is the greatest mystery ever.
