2. Take up Self-Enquiry
Do not discuss your spiritual inclinations with friends and family if they are not supportive enough, as it will add to your conditioning.
Practice in Silence.
Walk barefoot on the grass early morning or late at night, and feel the sensations in your feet.
Reduce Social Media influence.
3. Reduce Minds Narratives.
Look for a single fact while observing, do not listen to multiple storylines.
Be neutral in your Spiritual Quest. Do not associate it with religions and rituals.
Find three to four straight hours in a day to dive deep into spirituality. This includes but is not limited to :
- You can start with the Headspace app if that helps to calm your mind.
- Sufi Songs do help.
- Indian classical music esp. musical instruments like Veena and Sitar magically deepen our spiritual inclination and calm us.

Remember Spirituality is not a goal or a concept. Do not measure it along the same lines as other mind-made concepts.
Do not give up. Sometimes we need to actively participate in the experiences that reinforce conditioning to filter out the truth from the mess.
All we need is our Hearts True Desire to know.
Once you allow your heart desires to speak through Silence, life will effortlessly reveal the truth to you.
Continue on this journey till “Being” becomes your effortless nature, and “Human” becomes a role that you have to play.
