In the kingdom of spirituality
there are many dwellers,
mind is the doorkeeper
whom I must make friend.
Once I enter through this door
there is intellect,
it allows me to understand
what is good and what is bad.
In the core of this unique place
the king Soul is sitting,
to win Him is the job of whole spirituality.
There are not many actions
which do not involve mind,
whatever works we may do
all jobs are spiritual.
Anything I do, my goal is the same
to get peace and happiness always I toil.
In achieving so I find it is essential
to have absolute control over myself.
I am all time busy for this accomplishment
now it is up to you to make out
how spiritual I am!

Well written poetic words. The way I see it -- what's in the mind is the cause of our problems. Changing the mind is where the solution is. Beliefs in hate and fear must be changed to those of love. No one is exempt from these problems.

Mine is not to judge nor rate anyone's spirituality, for that is God's job and I do not want it. I have a hard enough time with my endeavors on this place we call home. We are as spiritual as we want to be at any given time or circumstance. But I know this for a fact, when I have control there is going to be a train wreck and many will be hurt in the process. I lived that way for too many years already. Thank you for your entry and best of luck... Scott
