Spiritual and Personal Duties.

So, I have been in a sort of Limbo. I haven't done everything I set out to do. Nonetheless, I am keeping some things up everyday. I have been trying to find a routine a religious routine in which I can live my spirituality. I have noticed myself taking little things from here and there. For exaple, I am trying to follow:

The Basic Prinicples of Spirituality: (SSRF)

1) There are as many paths to God as there are people

2) Going from many to one:

The impact of our efforts is much more powerful when we concentrate our efforts on the one, instead of the many.

3) Progressing from gross (tangible) to subtle (intangible)

This principle states that we need to improve upon our spiritual practice by going from just physical actions, to a practice at a more subtle level.

4) Undertaking spiritual practice as per the spiritual level or spiritual capacity

We must check that the spiritual practice we choose is as per our spiritual capacity or spiritual level. A student, who has passed grade 3, will not be able to sit for the grade 4 exams if he has been continually studying only the grade 3 syllabus.

5) Doing spiritual practice relevant to the times

6) Offering to God as per your talent or capacity
All of us have some kind of resources at our disposal. These have been given to us by God. A basic principle in spiritual practice is that we use these same resources to serve Him as part of our spiritual practice and grow spiritually. The resources we have fall broadly into four categories:
1. Our body
2. Our wealth and worldly connections
3. Our mind and intellect
4. Our sixth sense

Some things to Start tomorrow- for at least 6 months from now ( At least until January)

• A soft returning to Christianity
• Daily Chanting and Prayer: Hail Jesus and Sree Gurudev Datta. Min 2 hrs a day in the early day. At least 1100 repetitions. I can break these chanting sessions into different times: Verbally or mentally.
• Spiritual Study: The books I read will have to conform to the 6 basic principles of spirituality.

I am going to work hard to build a good schedule, because lately I have been out of place again. I will have to find a way to make a good schedule all around for good sleep, personal interest, and spiritual duties.

:) Makes me feel all happy.
