Shower Thought

In English there is one phrase called "Shower thought". Its usually referred to  those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head when you are in the shower. But actually it's more than that. It can applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.

Let's share some famous shower thought of all time : 

"We always say things on fire for example the house is on fire or the Forrest is on fire...but have you ever thought how come things on fire actually it would be fire on things''

Have you ever noticed when you say forward or back, your lips actually move on those direction...

Now another interesting one if you punch your self on the face and it's really hurt then is it make you a  strong person or weak...think about it. 

"Clapping is just hitting your self cause you just liked something"

Have you ever encountered with this thought that "it's impossible to skip breakfast. The first time you eat during a day is when you "break your fast."

Here is another one When we ask someone "where are you" its actually a recent thing. Before we had mobile phones, the only way we could talk to people is if we knew where they were.

Here comes the last one "Go to bed and you will feel better  in the morning" we usually say it when we have a very rough day but isn't it another way of saying have you turned off and turned on again.

Spiritual but not religious

Few years a go I was filling up a form. There was one section called your religious believe and on this section there are 10 different option like Islam, Christianity. Buddhism, Hindu, Atheist etc but the one got my attention was the last one, “Spiritual but not religious”.

I found it very interesting and as soon as I read it I said yes finally I found a phrase to express my believe. Cause if I choosed any other option that would not  be fully true. 

Since then whoever asked me about my religious believe I always say “spiritual but not religious”

So how is to be spiritual. Lots of people think spirituality comes from religion. Its not fully correct. Religion tell us to follow a certain ideology and specific rules that you must follow otherwise you will be punished in hell or you will be reincarnated again and again. On the other hand spirituality is about following your own heart and do what feels right. Religion tells you what to fear and show you the consequences but Spirituality makes you aware of the consequences but doesn’t want you to focus on the fear. 

Religion tells you what to believe and what is right. Spirituality lets you discover it by yourself and understand it in your own way. It lets you Connect With Your Higher Self and see with your own mind. Cause truth is same for all of us. 

It actually  let you believe in your own truth through your own perception of your heart.

“Religion Separates us from each other   and Spirituality Unites us”

There are plenty of religion all around the world  and they all preach that  their one is the right path and the only one but Spirituality sees the truth in all of them and unites them because the truth is same for all of us despite our differences and uniqueness. . It focuses on the quality of the divine message in all the religion.

Religion Makes You Dependent – Spirituality Makes You Independent, how it does that,  its shows you that you don’t need or depend on anything to be happy. Happiness is always found deep in ourselves and only we are responsible for it. We are always where we need to be.Divinity is in us and that is why we are always special.

Religion says that if we don’t obey certain rules there is punishment waiting for us which relies on our belief. Spirituality is all about karma its lets us understand that every action has its reaction and realize that the punishment of our actions will be the reaction coming from the actions we set in motion. It relies solely on the fundamental forces of The Universe and it doesn’t need you to believe in that force to be true.

Religion Makes You Follow Other Journey – Spirituality Lets You Create Your Own. The foundation of one religion is the story it tells about a God or Gods, their journey to enlightenment and the truth they have discovered making you follow their steps. Spirituality lets you Walk Your Own Journey to Enlightenment and discover the truth in your own way following what your heart tells it’s right because the truth is always the same no matter how you get to it.

Every religion came by spirituality, by the journey through which one person became God or messenger of god . The details of the story are not important they just help the character discover the truth. The message that shares the truth is what is important, That is why every religion has something true in it

There is very nice quote by Deepak Chopra:

Religion is believe in someone else’s experience and spirituality is having your own experience.

Spirituality give you true freedom. Today you can read some Hindu scriptures and find wisdom from it. Tomorrow might be you are interested in Zen and reading some zen stories and gather knowledge through it.. Later on you  might found a beautiful Sufi poetry that fill your soul.

Being spiritual you will see that we all are connected to one true being and we are not separate, there are no borders, no races and no cultural divides.

Be seeker, Be spiritual......
