SPIRITUAL PRESENCE

[Pravin Kumar]

Existence is naturally spiritual so understanding Presence allows you to be spiritually at home. Although the carnal mind will often wander, a Presence awareness will keep you from leaving your spiritual home...

All of life is spiritual and this is so even though you may not be aware of it. When you do become aware of this, it doesn't really mean life becomes all that much different, but what does become different is the view of life that you have; this makes all the difference in the world. If you’re under the spell of unconsciousness it's very difficult to see from the perspective of Presence; without Presence you’ll remain under the spell. This is the spell of the world (form) it's also the spell of suffering. It manifest in many ways this spell, but its base is in the form of what the world presents. I'm this, I'm that, buy this, use that, attain this, go here, go there, win this, learn that, and on and on. It's the way of the world which is form and it's the way of suffering because you're held captive under the spell of what the world makes you think is needed.

The only way to break this spell is to constantly choose Presence when you notice you're under the spell of form. Since our existence is naturally spiritual, Presence allows you to be spiritually home. Although the mind will wander from this space, with a practice to remain anchored in the Now instead of being lost grasping for something that the world of form makes you believe you need, you’ll be able to stay spiritually home more often than not. Home is where the heart is and in choosing Presence that’s where you will live your life, that is as long as Presence is chosen...
