The Vortex of Spirituality !

It was not without substantial thought and effort that I chose to withdraw from making an effort to suck him out. I could see him being drawn into it. The effect gradually took place and he was fast turning into one of the most promising disciples of the guru. 

Everyone in the family could see it. But, as I did, everyone feigned helplessness. It was a 'passing the buck' scenario.

However, all of us avoided the most important issue. Why was he being pushed into the vortex of 'spirituality' defined by a new-age saint. The answers were clear to all minds. But since the answers weren't exactly pleasing to be discussed cheerfully, the best method was to circumvent. Blame nobody yet see it happen in front of my own eyes. 

The pain is excruciating. Unbearable. Advices galore but there is no solution in sight. Where will it take him. How will he live ? Will he submit to the whims and fancies of the so-called guru ?

An independent person since childhood, he was the one without fear. Till the moment a disaster occurred. It scarred the fearless creature and introduced fear to him. Maybe it was nature's method of letting him know the emotion. Although he got away unscathed his mind had already fallen prey, unknown to him. To top it all, more people around him fell greater prey. 

Life ahead was dull. It became more of a monotonous routine, yet his strength remained unaffected. He used to come out tops in everything that he did. he chose not to follow his academic path and learnt a new way of life, only to emerge a winner. 

But, the world had planned its revenge. Circumstances made him go to a queer spiritual method, that strangely appears to give him solace. 

However, it appears to be a temporary phase. Unless the roots of the trouble creating thoughts are culled, its impossible for a man's spiritual journey to take its natural and logical path. Till then, the counsel of the new age gurus with their own spiritual vortexes will prevail.
