Another gift that became presented in my spiritual journey was to have more appreciation for a simple life.

When backpacking/ traveling for days and weeks, one constantly moves from one place to another.  The most predominant concern is to find places to sleep and eat.  Nothing else is mattered; nothing else is important.

Simple life has no accessories to take care of or look after. Simple life has no additional distractions; it has no unwanted engagements; it has no exposure to commercial ads or excessive noises.  Life is simple. Unnecessary man-made problems seem to be absent in simple life.

Imagine to reduce accessories, distractions and unwanted engagements in our life. Imagine to have a simple life. Imagine to have none of unwanted excessive noises and commercial ads in our life.  Imagine what might be possible to us as human species?  Don’t you think we will have more respect for our nature, others and ourselves?

Just imagine a day when one frees himself/herself from all unwanted pressures like shoulds, musts! Just imagine how beautiful our life will be!

Gifts of Spiritual Journey- 1!

“El Camino de Santiago” has been a destination for many individuals who seek spiritual mental and emotional connection with something bigger than oneself.  I decided to experience this journey this year in September.

One of the gifts of this journey for me has been the development of a new realization that ‘words’ are not really necessary/essential for understanding and connection in human relationship.

I came to realize that when we take time, slow down and make a close eye contact with the world around us, we hear, see and feel things differently; our senses function more effectively. I found ‘words’ as obstacles to my attention to and my understanding of the world.

Perhaps rich understanding and deep connection in human relationship is possible with valuing ‘silence’ and total ‘presence’-  silence that allows us to listen deeply to one another; and mental, emotional and physical presence that opens up space for much deeper understanding of one another.

The keys to understanding and connection are to be comfortable with ‘silence’ and be more ‘present’; not to have more fancy ‘words’ and intellectual debates!
