ShunyaDev

I believe in a Supreme Power, which is more powerful than human beings. I love my life and am thankful to the Supreme Power for being so benevolent. Every night, I pray to Him and thank Him for all that He has done for me. It is not that my life has always been a bed of roses. I have had traumatic experiences. Whenever I am in a spot, I seek His intervention. I do not believe in rituals. I do puja or go to any temple. I worship every idol. For me, the Supreme Power stands in the form of a dot - like Omkara. I say ShunyaDev.Whenever I pray to Him, I don't necessarily ask for help or material pleasure. It's like talking to Him. He's someone in whom I can confide my innermost turmoil, pain and pleasure. I feel good, calm and lighter.
Since my mother and my father believed in idol worship, I was exposed to it. This widened my spiritual knowledge. Yoga is a commune between the mind and body. And Sanskrit introduces you to the science behind spirituality. That is why, in the Vedas, God is nirakaar - without any form, shapeless. how the one who knows God becomes God. I learnt what is called ego and why it is beneficial to get rid of it. The ego distances us from our real self and from others. Once you shed your ego, you come closer to yourself and the Supreme Power.
I must admit that I have yet to drop my ego completely. However, I do try to exercise it as less as possible.
