The mind cannot be defined as a part of the body or part of the mind. The body, mind, and soul influence each other. By improving your spiritual life and spiritual health, you can contribute to the healing process. Spirituality may not cure you, but it helps you deal with the pain and difficulties associated with your illness. Mental health is achieved when you feel at peace with life. It is when you can find hope and comfort in even the hardest times. It can help to support you as you experience life completely. Spirituality is different for everyone.

It may be easy to lose your spiritual health when facing a chronic illness. There is a time when you may be tempted to let go of your beliefs. It is important to remember that you can better manage your physical health by living a healthy mental life. You can know how to improve your spiritual health, and your spiritual life can help you deal with any problems in your physical health. We are all beings. Balance helps keep us healthy and recover.

There is a question you might want to ask yourself when you are suffering from sanity:

What is the reason I feel most perfect? When do I feel most connected to the rest of the world? Where is my innermost strength? What if you feel the whole thing? These questions will help you find out what you can do to find inner peace. When you can find inner peace, you can empower your body to heal.

Everything, in reality, is there in the spiritual world

The material world is simply the shadow of thespiritual world. So, real life, true diversity, beauty, knowledge, and reality all exist in the spirit world. This material world is just a reflection. It’s a very beautiful and beautiful girl, just like when making clay dolls. But it’s an imitation. It’s the shadow of a really beautiful girl.

What is perfect in the spiritual world?

The idea of ​​law and order comes from Vishnu. How well explained. Janmady asya. In two words: Janmady Asya Yatah. Janma means creation and adi. Adi first means Janma, then Sthiti. Sthiti means staying and having fun. And the solution. So three things. Yata, from where these three things happen. This means that when this world is created from this source, maintained from this source, and destroyed, it is in this energy, the whole energy.

When everything melts, the energy is absorbed by the energy. Therefore, this is the absolute truth. Therefore, Srimad Bhagavatam explains this absolute truth, Janmady asya yata anvayad itaratas ca arthesu abhijnahsvarat. The Vedanta scripture says that “absolute truth is the source of everything.” Now, if the source is everything, what is the nature of absolute truth? This is explained in Srimad Bhagavatam.

The first is das janmadyasya yatah. What are the indirect and direct signs of this? The absolute truth, the factor by which everything progresses so that divergence involves indirect and direct manifestations. The direct manifestation is the spiritual world, and the indirect manifestation is this material world. Indirect manifestation means that it is simply the shadow of the spirit world.

It is said that man was created after God. It has two hands, one head, and two legs. So the spiritual speculation is that these believers create God according to their characteristics. Since I have both hands, I create God with both hands called Krishna.

But in reality, that is not the case. Krishna has both hands because he imitates Krishna’s body. After all, it is imitation. Everyone, we know everything. This body doesn’t stay. So Jamma has it. Jamma means birth or creation at some point, for example, 50 or 100 years left. Then dissolve and dissolve. Therefore, it is an imitation.

Clay dolls, very nice beautiful girls, just like when making dolls. But that’s an imitation. It’s the shadow of a really beautiful girl. It will be created someday, so the reality is in the spiritual world. Therefore, it is called jammadyasya yatah. Ideas come from it, but impersonal believe that the absolute truth lacks impersonal or empty diversity because of its very low intelligence. They believe that there are varieties only in the physical world, but in reality, there are real varieties in the spiritual world.

It’s just a reflection, as explained in Bhagavad Gita, urdhva mulam adhah sakham. Adhah sakham. Asvattham prahuravyayam. This material creation, material manifestation, is likened to a banyan tree whose roots are pointing up. And I explained several times how trees could be rooted upwards. That is, it is a reflection.

When you stand on the riverbank, the sides of the trees are reflected in the river and water. That means reflection. As soon as this is a tree with its roots pointing up, it means that it is a reflection. If you only know 180 degrees, you are not used to the other 180 degrees. So, real life, true diversity, beauty, knowledge, and reality all exist in the spirit world.

It’s just a reflection. Therefore, Bhagavata declares that janmady Asya yatah anvayad itaratas ka arthesu abhijnah is. I know the supreme absolute truth, Avidina. Cognisant and Svarat. Svarat means independence. Thus, the description of the Brahma Sutra is given in Srimad Bhagavatam.

Therefore, Srimad Bhagavatam is vaisnava nam priyam. Yad vaisnavanampriyam. Yasmin paramahamsam ekam param jnanam jneyate. Knowledge of Srimad Bhagavatam needs to be understood by Paramahamsa, the perfect human being, Paramahamsa. That’s not normal.

The notion of the spiritual world by scrutinisingly studying the material world

This world is a relative manifestation. So I didn’t understand these things at first, but when the question came, we talked about something. But you need to know what the Vedantas say about janmady asyayatah. Everything starts with this absolute truth. That is the source of everything. I can’t make anything. That is impossible. But it’s a shadow, and that’s the reality. And in the shade like the picture.

The pictures show that all of your beautiful faces are in the details, but that’s not the case. That’s all. So you can find everything in detail, everything or, by carefully studying this material world, you can understand the real picture, the real idea, the concept of the real spiritual world. I can do it.

All of this must be negative and empty in the spiritual world, as impersonality believes that material varieties have so many horrifying drunks. That is their material calculation. I don’t think there is love in the spirit world either. Because in this world, so-called love and desires are hindered, and many misfortunes continue, we cannot imagine love in the spiritual world.

How is this world a mithya?

How to become more spiritually connected is the most asked question of all times. Sri Adi Shankaracharya, a great Advaita master who lived in the early 8th century, said, “Brahma satya Jagat mithya, jivobrahmaivana parah.” It means that Brahman (the name of the ultimate reality) is the only truth, the world is an illusion, and ultimately there is no difference between the individual self and Brahman.

Mithya means neither true nor false. The world cannot be wrong, as we all see and recognise it. Shankara Charya says that the world is not true either because it is constantly changing, and what it has to offer is temporary, temporary, and temporary.

We enjoy a great cooking experience. I feel sick after a few days in a row. A trip to a beautiful resort is very relaxing. In just a few days, the place was no longer attractive. The long-awaited vacation trip. After walking around for days and visiting various tourist attractions, my heart finally shouted. A sweet house !! “And longing for the comfort of the house.

Therefore, Shankara calls this world Mithya. In other words, everything in this world is given only temporary happiness, not permanent happiness. You quickly forget what happened in your dreams. Also, I have forgotten my experience in the awake world, but it will slowly progress over time. This is the saying, “And it also passes.”

With this impermanence, meaninglessness, all the impermanences related to the outside world, and the similarity of experience with the dream world, Shankara is neither false nor real, but an illusion and does not require any other meaning. That’s why you need to do it. By saying

“Jivo brahmaiva naparah,” Shankara conveys that the realisation of the individual’s self, Atman, the purest form of life energy (without ego), is none other than the realisation of Brahman, the omnipotent energy. The same opinion is confirmed by the ancient Greek maxim “Know thyself” inscribed on the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. These sayings claim to learn more by studying oneself (Svadiya), calming down, and turning the goal-oriented focus inward.

How to improve your spiritual health?

1. Connect with the Faith Community

Find people and organisations that share your beliefs and ideas, and reconnect online, by phone, or in person. Reach out to pastors and spiritual leaders to find ways to connect with like-minded people in your religious community who can support and encourage you.

2. Help volunteers or others

If you don’t have a religious community, that’s fine. Another way to feel connected to your spirituality or spiritual health and beliefs is to find something you care about and return something. You can work in the pantry, become a mentor or tutor, and take care of animals. This is a great way to grow your community and connect with like-minded people. When you help others, it also makes you feel meaningful and grateful.

3. Yoga practice

You don’t have to be a yogi to get the spiritual benefit of practising. Yoga is suitable for everyone at all levels. It strengthens and stretches the body, helps the mind and mind, and reduces stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms.

4. Meditate

As with yoga, you don’t have to be an experienced meditator. Meditation is one of the easiest ways to grow because it doesn’t take long. “Some people think you need to sit still, but that’s not true,” Wester said. “By paying attention to how your feet feel on the ground or the details around you. You can slow down your brain just by practising slowing down your body.

Meditating for just five minutes can reduce stress, depression, and anxiety, and increase mindfulness and spiritual health. If you need help, there are great guided meditation apps like Calm and Balance.

5. Keep a diary

The act of writing can help you handle your emotions, raise your awareness, and give you a non-judgmental space to express your emotions at that moment. Write down your worries and fears, or start your daily thank-you diary at the prompt.

6. Spend time in nature

Whether you live near mountains, deserts, or beaches, spending time in nature can enhance your sanity. You have to let go of your phone, your day, and your problem. Just looking at the birds will treat the trees swaying in the wind and the roaring sounds of the beach for a few minutes. Focus on your hobbies. Find what you like, knitting, painting, cooking, sports, exercise, and more. By focusing on what you are having, you can regain the meaning and focus on the moment-even for a short time.

7. Talk to a pastor or someone you can trust

If you have problems with your spiritual aspects or your connection to mental health, please get in touch with someone specially trained or trusted.
