Many spiritual seekers often find themselves asking, “Am I on the right path?” or “Why do I still have doubts?” If you have these questions, it is actually a positive sign. This self-questioning is a strong indicator of spiritual doubts and self-awareness, and those who have self-awareness will rarely stray from the right path.
Let’s dive deeper into this and explore some common spiritual doubts and their real meanings.
Self-Awareness: The Guiding Light on the Spiritual Path
When you question yourself, it shows that you are observing your journey, your actions, and your thoughts. Spiritual doubts and self-awareness act like a compass. They keep you aligned with the right path, even if you feel uncertain at times.
Remember, those who blindly assume they are always right are the ones more likely to stray. Your doubt is not a weakness; it is a strength.
Helping Others: True Surrender to the Divine
Whenever you see someone in need, help them sincerely, but surrender the outcome to the divine. Before helping, offer a silent prayer:
“I surrender this action to you; you take care of the result.”
This attitude removes the ego from the action. Whether the help succeeds or not, the act itself becomes pure worship.
Is Everything God’s Action, Even Our Mistakes?
Many people wonder:
“If everything is God’s action, does that mean even our wrong deeds are His?”
The answer is both yes and no. Let’s understand this through a simple analogy.
Imagine a paper cup machine: a sheet of paper is fed in, and a cup comes out at the end. Now, if something goes wrong, who is responsible? Is it the machine or the human operator?
It isn’t easy to separate. In the same way, divine energy moves everything, but how it is expressed depends on our knowledge, awareness, and choices.
Thus, God places us in situations, but our understanding and free will shape our actions.
Following Dharma: The Key to Avoiding Karma
In every situation, choose Dharma (righteousness). No matter how hard or confusing a situation is, act in a way that aligns with truth, compassion, and fairness. This is the only way to avoid accumulating new karma.
If Everything Is Pre-Planned, Why Worship God?
Another common doubt:
“If everything is already pre-planned, what is the point of worship?”
Real divine worship is serving those in need. Every time you help someone selflessly, you are worshipping the Divine in its purest form.
Through continuous service and selfless actions, you will start to realize the divine presence within you and experience its power directly.
Experiencing Divine Energy Through Yogam
When practicing Paramporul Yogam (or any true yogic practice), you connect with the cosmic energy.
As you do yogam, energy enters through the crown of your head and spreads through your system.
This is why some people experience discomfort initially; your internal breathing patterns are being altered to make your body an empty vessel, ready to receive divine energy.
Important: Always practice under proper guidance to ensure the safe and correct awakening of inner energies.
Go With the Flow and Witness Silently
In spiritual life, some things are beyond the mind’s understanding. Instead of trying to analyze everything, flow with trust and witness the journey silently. The divine is operating through you, but your awareness and choices also play an important role.
Stay humble, stay aware, and walk the path with surrender.
Everything else will unfold beautifully in divine timing.
