 What Is Your Spiritual Identity?
Do you know who you are? What is the worth and purpose of your life? We are not referring to your so called name, age and profession we wonder what you are because of God’s trials and tribulations. Probe on the eternal quest of your spiritual identity and disclose some unraveled secrets about your spiritual and mystical origin, crossing the bars of racial, religious and geographical discriminations.
Christ unveils our spiritual identity again and again in Bible. “Your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you… You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body…” God had already predestined your life as He knew you before you knew yourself. The subject of identity crisis is also talked about in Bible. “If you want to overcome a Spiritual Identity Crisis… Don’t worry about who the world thinks you are… Don’t worry about who you believe you are… But stand on and rest in…”
According to Bible “all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away (Isa 64:6)…”. Gita in Hinduism reflects a similar image on spiritual identity “Just as a person puts on new garments when the old ones need replacing; similarly the soul accepts new bodies and gives up the old and useless ones.” When Arjuna was reluctant to wage a war against his kin, Lord Krishna raveled the eternal truth of human identity that one must not lament for any loss as the Embodied soul passes from youth to ripen age and finally to another body at the time of death. Therefore ceaseless presence of soul is invincible, incredible, indisputable, and constant, and Karma determines the predicaments of one’s after life.
In this unquenchable quest of spiritual identity Egyptian bring in the doctrine of resurrection when they mummified human body with the hope of retrieval of human spirit. Jainism and Buddhism emphasizes on samsara, moksha, nirvana and Vakti and karma again. Likewise Taoism confirms the Spiritual identity never gets obsolete, and birth and demise are only two milestones in this longest spiritual quest. Spiritual identity veers from Judaism to Gnosticism who strictly negates the idea of captivation of human spirit inside material cage of human body. Ancient Shamans and tribal groups claim the traumatic ordeals of mortal life invoking a greater urge to go beyond the human illusions to seek one’s spiritual entity.
A Miraculous harmony of every religion is blatantly evident if you set out on a spiritual journey of identity thoroughly, leaving behind the trivialities of mundane life.
