We do not need to suffer or live in poverty
to be spiritual people.
The idea that we have to suffer or live in
poverty in order to be spiritual is an old one and can be found in the belief
systems of many philosophies. Many of us carry this old idea around
subconsciously, and we may be holding ourselves back from financial or
emotional well-being, believing that this is what we must do in order to be
virtuous and spiritually awake, or feel less guilty for the suffering of
others. If you find that you are suffering in some area of
your physical life, perhaps your spirit is asking you to look deeper in your
search for what you want. For example, if you want money so that you can
experience the feeling of security but money keeps eluding you, your spirit
may be asking you to understand that security is not to be found through
money. Security comes from an unshakable connection to your soul. Once you
make that connection, money will probably flow more easily into your life. If
relationships elude you, your spirit may be calling you to recognize that the
love you seek is not to be found in another person. And yet, ironically, once
you find self-love, your true love may very well appear. If you are stuck in
suffering because you want to live a spiritual life, try to spend some time
writing about it. The root of the problem will appear, and it may not be what
you expected. Remember, the universe wants you to be happy.
