Spirituality & Innocence

Happiness in life does not depend only on the body, external comfort or external objects. True happiness in life depends on the mind. If we gain total control over the mind, we will gain control over everything else. The science that teaches us how to control the mind is true science, and that is spiritual knowledge. Only if we first gain this knowledge can we properly use all the other knowledge we have gained.

In the past, there used to be families with 30, 40 or even 50 members. They lived together with so much unity, mutual affection and deference! The atmosphere in such families was one of love and peace because they understood spirituality. They knew what life was and what it was for. Their lives were founded on spiritual principles. Today, if there are three members in a family, they are like three islands in an ocean. Each one has his or her own ways, and they do not get along with each other.

If people are well-versed in spiritual principles, we can avoid such situation, at least within families. Spirituality is what brings hearts closer together. One who has learnt how to swim in the ocean revels in the waves. Every wave will be a joyful experience for him. However, one who does not know how to swim will be at the mercy of the waves.

Likewise, one who understandsthe principles of spirituality will be able to face every obstaclein life with a smile. Some mistakenly consider spirituality to mean blind faith. The truth is, spirituality dispels the darkness of ignorance.
