India :
The people of the world considers worldly progress and comforts as the object of the life and have turned away their faces from spiritual practices.
Meat and wine, which are great obstructions in the performance of spiritual practices, became their normal diet with the result that in spite of there being such great prosperity and pomp and show, there is so much restlessness and unhappiness. Generally desires rule over mind.
As long as the activities of mind are not brought under the control or stopped and consciousness of higher order is not attained by human being, the success in spiritual practices can not be achieved. This status of higher order consciousness can only be achieved by bringing changes within oneself by destroying the consciousness of low order so that the spirit is freed from the covers of materialism and attains self-realization.

True peace is attained when one’s spiritual faculties are awakened. Such peace goes on increasing day by day with spiritual practices till a state of perfect peace is reached when no desire for anything or for any experience or any condition is left.
(Local Perspectives)
True peace is only possible when we refine our self by following the true path.
(Global Perspectives)
True peace is the ultimate goal which every one should work for.
(Local Perspectives)
People are engrossed in worldly desires and are not aware of their true goal of life. Thus, they do not try for any kind of spiritual development.
(Global Perspectives)
How one can get freedom from these attachments of worldly objects ? The answer is simple but needs efforts to control the life style.
(Local Perspectives)
To develop spiritually we should have minimum interaction in the affairs of the world that is only that much which is necessary to earn our livelihood and support our family.
(Local Perspectives)
It is shear ignorance for most and absence of guidance for few who do make efforts.
(Local Perspectives)
That is right, religion is mis understood due to actions of some handful pople who do some thing absurd in the name of religion.
(Global Perspectives)
The ignorance can only be removed when people with absolutely right life style which may lead to salvation will become role model of majority of people.
(Local Perspectives)
The Ignorance can only be removed when one gets and follows the guidance of the true teacher.

One of the main reasons for lack of spiritual development of people in the society today is lack of knowledge of a true religion. A primary reason for the split between religion and spirituality is the increasing dissatisfaction and anger at organized religion.
While there are both healthy and unhealthy forms of organized religion, it is not surprising that so many people have upset at organized religion given the atrocities which have occurred by religious groups in the past. Furthermore, many of these atrocities have been highly publicized by the media; often in less than favorable light.
However, it is still problematic to generalize the sins of some organized religion to all religious groups.

It is the society which needs to be aware of the need of spiritual development and must work to cultivate an environment.

That person alone can attach proper importance to Spirituality (True Objective of Life) whose receptacle is sufficiently large and who is always wide awake and who is not affected by the feelings of worldly loss and gain and whose heart is always filled with yearning for the vision of Supreme Lord.
Human can understand the True Objective of Life only when the Supreme Lord showers His Special Grace on him. The person thinks about this only when he turns away from the world because of his old deeds and seeks betterment.

(Local Perspectives)
One must work towards the first step of getting HIS Grace to get eligible to walk on path of spirituality.
(Global Perspectives)
The person who is really interested in spiritual development will always keep his heart and mind away from worldly objects.
(Local Perspectives)
We must always be aware of the right and wrong so as to be always remain on the path of spirituality.
(Local Perspectives)
Thus our deeds must be as per the stipulations of the path we follow.
(Local Perspectives)
We must work towards our spiritual goal by following the path and having the true vision of the Supreme Lord.
(Local Perspectives)
Yes indeed.
To be successful in spirituality, one should bear in mind the following:
1. One should not take food prepared by everybody or food touched by everybody. Food produces a great effect on one’s body and mind. Should take care that people whose ideas and actions are bad and people who are dirty do not touch, see or cook your food.
2. One should associate with those people who are superior and who are trying to further improve themselves. In their association one should be able to cover the distance of months within days.
3. One should perform spiritual practices, daily, to enable the awakening of dormant spiritual faculties; on getting success all your weaknesses and complaints will be removed.

THat is absolutely right. The environment we live in controls our physical mental and spiritual development. A complete person can only be developed when one lives in proper way.
(Global Perspectives)
Yes, The proper surroundings are necessary for the nucleation and growth of any living being. Be it a plant or a human being.
(Local Perspectives)
Very True. The input we get affects our body, mind and spirit.
(Local Perspectives)
To be secure to our objective we must do every thing to live in right kind of society.
(Global Perspectives)
True, the best practices ofr spirituyal development are only possible if we are able to control our mind and actions of our body.
(Local Perspectives)
It is again difficult for peolpe to restrict wih such a life style as their heart wants to enjoy the worldly objects.
(Local Perspectives)
To be successful in spirituality we must be attentive to our prime objective and always involve our self in some kind of activity which may help us to be connected to the Supreme Lord.
(Local Perspectives)
The problem with us in this world is that we get our attention to many other things of this world but do not have time to concentrate on the prime objective because our mind finds pleasure of short duration in the usage of these objects.
(Local Perspectives)
Very correctly said by Dr. Ratan and Rohit Ji, we are suffering from a problem of ambiguity due to lack of knowledge and guidance, due to which we are not able to do what is stipulated in scriptures.
(Local Perspectives)
Yes, we must be concerned with the prime objective and give all our attention to it. This is only possible when there is no ambiguity of any kind.
(Local Perspectives)
COncenrted efforts to be attentive on the prime objective is most important key to be successful.
(Local Perspectives)
Prime objective is not known to many people, thus they are suffering the pains and sorrows in this world.
(Global Perspectives)
Selfless Sercvice to needy can be the best practice to elevate in spirituality.
(Local Perspectives)
To be successful in spiritual development one should surrender completely to the wish of the Lord. Which one can understand only when he is prepared for travelling on the path shown by the true religion.
(Local Perspectives)
If one is able to do that then he becomes one of the happiest persons on this earth.
(Local Perspectives)
People are running for trivial happiness of this wolrd which is nothing, as compared to the Divinie Happiness, which one is able to enjoy once he follows the path to spiritual development.
(Global Perspectives)
True happiness is only possible within us by developing the spiritual faculties.
(Local Perspectives)
It si difficult for people to surrender as they have attachemnts with people and objects of this world.
(Local Perspectives)
Very true, nothing is easy when we want to achieve the best reward.
(Local Perspectives)
I think nothing would be able to get in the way of our spiritual development if we really want to develop spiritually.
Be it meat or wine or even drugs. Your spiritual sense is yours alone, within you, your faith and your longing to spirituality and your belief in it are what make the difference. People are unable to succeed in that department because the world has become difficult, bitter, dangerous, scary and filled with superficial proof that spirituality is a loser’s thing.
All world systems, governing systems, communism, capitalism, socialism, all erase spirituality. Even religions, who initially started off pushing for spirituality are now used to judge who is more spiritual than the other, who is more holy, who is more deserving of heaven and hell.

I beg to differ here. There is a path to be followed if want to reach the mount Everest, similarly for spiritual development there is a path to follow with a given set of mind set.

The Sufi way is the way to spritualism in Islam
(Global Perspectives)
You must realize that it is the ordinary way of God’s dealings with us that our ideas do not work out speedily and efficiently as we would like them to. The reason for this is not only the loving wisdom of God, but also the fact that our acts have to fit into a great complex pattern that we cannot possibly understand. I have learned over the years that Providence is always a whole lot wiser than any of us, and that there are always not only good reasons, but the very best reasons for the delays and blocks that often seem to us so frustrating and absurd.

Dr. Saini,
1. Since you write with such authority, may I ask you the relevant question that have you achived your spritual goals? If so then please explain us what is that for other ignorant people.
2. Are you an authorized preacher/pastor of your faith ? What faith is that and are you an authorized preacher/pastor to discuss further to invite you for some religious meeting/functions where you can enlighten more people with your preeching?
You are doing a nice job by spreading awareness about the importance of spirituality in our lives. I wish you could be more specific about the path you follow and how one can start following the same path. Will you take some deciples?
Thanks,

Spiritual Development means ability to commune with the Creator of the Universe,
The Supreme Lord by awakening the spiritual faculties.
This is possible only by following the Path of Devotion under the guidance of True Guide, who has attained that ability.
grateful sir.
