Secular success is typically measured
by possessions, popularity, good looks, living the “good” life.
Spiritually success however is measured by the peace, poise and serenity
we demonstrate when difficulties arrive, a state we achieve by
understanding
the true nature of being, realizing that appearances are
illusionary, possessions temporary. Secular health it is about looking
and feeling good at any price,
taking and doing whatever to achieve that which is passing at best.
Spiritual health is not about
the body. Awake to the truth that this flesh is merely a vehicle, a
conveyance for a time. This does not mean that we misuse it or ignore
its care, but we are clear that we are not our body since all flesh
fails, that we truly are a spark of the divine, eternal, existing before
this flesh was conceived and existing beyond its return to the dust and
ash from which it came. Secular: the opinions of others have power and
color our choices and decisions. Spiritually: when we are right with
God, all other relationships can and will fall into place.
As we transition from living on the secular basis to Living on the Spiritual Basis our whole attitude about life and living changes. “That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.” “What used to be the hunch or the occasional inspiration becomes a working part of the mind.” Spiritual or secular, peace or tumult, the choice is ours. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Living on the Spiritual Basis we are no longer of this world, but we are in it; life simplified for: “we have ceased fighting anything or anyone" for “We had a new Employer. Being all powerful, He provided what we needed, if we kept close to Him and performed His work well.”
