spirituality and objective reality are one and the same...
The gurus despense knowledge, dispell ignornance on the subject of self and being...their dedication and success is like a pocket of light in an otherwise top brain heavey...our clever and contriving animal world...creating more misery for us...happiness is about solutions to problems at the highest level of "love" for self and others..this love is not taking anyones rights away and nor letting anyone take your rights away...becuse you are of equal value to others on this earth in this life...this is the sole message of all scripture ans secular laws...therefore misery caused by fellow beings...will disappear overnight...no one is born to suffer or cause suffering...just we liken God to a parent...no parent alows, expects, or tolerates mistreatments of siblings...neither should we...remaing balanced , objective, and careful not contravene others rights..all beings should peacefully speak and act to assert themselves and change their work, country, etc...this is a duty of an ordinary person..a relegious person is also ordinary and has equal obligation...and not just pray and remain withdrawn and pasive to make improvements for self and all others around also...this is what love of God...God=Love is about....devotion is a means of revising and memorising the "the party" values...so we do not act out of lesser motive or just self benefit and harm to others motive...enjoy, praise, singing mantras...but like passing an exam...it is understanding and the capacity to practice this "love" that matters in our mortal existance...kindest regards, Jogga
