The purpose of life is the evolution of consciousness.  Spiritual awakening offers life in the state of joy (Bliss / Ananda).   If we learn to listen to our souls we can consciously choose to be joyful or sad, peaceful or loving, alert or relaxed... 

There is a Buddhist saying: 'Before enlightenment he gathered wood and carried water; after enlightenment he gathered wood and carried water.'

Spiritual Awakening

With spiritual awakening, spiritual growth becomes the central purpose and focus of life.  We experience a longing to come closer to God, Love or Lifeand to feel One with It (So-Ham).  With Spiritual Awakening, we are in love with the Divine, giving up the will - we accept total surrender to live Love as the main principle of our Life.

Spiritual Paths

There are many different spiritual paths that we can take: Yoga, Taoism, Christianity, Sufism, etc, or we could walk the path alone as a spiritual hermit.

Walking the spiritual path means finding our own relationship with God, Love or Life.

Today travellers on the spiritual path have two important advantages - we now have access to the knowledge of our ancestors on variety of spiritual paths; and the spiritual path is no longer in the shadow of doctrines - it is now difficult for Churches, sects and cults to dominate our surroundings.
