Many people ask me and are concerned that if they take the spiritual path it will come in their way of career and family. They also think they will have to let go of the things they enjoy and their life will become dull and boring. I understand their concerns because at the point where they are standing it seems to them that enjoyment lies in eating varieties of food, having good sex, visiting different places, amassing wealth and possessions, having many friends, partying etc. Spiritual journey looks completely contradictory and thus suicidal for them. And possibly at this point in time the spiritual doesn't attract them either. It takes very rare individuals to recognise the impermanence of their worldly enjoyments and search for the permanent. Most people take this path when life takes some unwanted turns and world stops making sense the way it used to earlier. But if and whenever they do take this journey they realise that it was their 'concept of enjoyment' that blinded the reality from presenting itself. True spirituality helps you drop all that is irrelevant and define your priorities in a very different way. It makes you authentic in your relationships and in fulfilling your responsibilities, and the bliss that you derive here cannot even be compared to the worldly enjoyments; it would be comparing sunlight with a candle light.
