START A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
When an individual begins the spiritual journey, one encounters many ups and downs in its course. The journey is marked with periods during which there is fast movement, and some other periods during which there is slower movement towards the goal. Normally, we remain body conscious most of the time, even when we have begun the spiritual journey. With our best efforts, we are able to remain soul conscious for short periods of time. But gradually, with practice, we can remain soul conscious for longer and longer periods. The process of transition from body consciousness to soul consciousness may be slow for some but faster for others. When a person, practicing spirituality, acquires a mental state, in which he or she remains totally soul conscious, then that person is said to have experienced spiritual awakening. Therefore, spiritual awakening refers to a dynamic shift in consciousness and an appreciation of reality which had previously been unrealized. Such a realization is in the recognition of oneness with all of existence. One gets a core message after realization that the absolute truth is beyond all concepts and beliefs of man. Underneath all apparent differences lies a fundamental oneness.
