In the religious world, the whole problem is considered to be related to the mind.
If godly satisfaction and happiness are not attained, then it is supposed to be due to the unbalanced mind.
You can assume that your mind is not under your control.
Have you ever noticed that if a person’s financial conditions in this world are not good, then they cannot get what they desire?
In the same way, if the mental state of a person is not correct, then it is impossible to achieve the Supreme Soul.
If the circumstances of a person are not good, then it becomes challenging for them to establish relations in society.
Likewise, if the mental state is not acceptable, then it would also be unthinkable to establish internal relations within oneself.
The biggest reason why today’s man is facing a lot of difficulties in gaining intellectual knowledge is because the state of our mind is not satisfactory.
Why is it that the state of our mind is not good?
Can you answer this?
Friends,
Our biggest mental problem is that we are dirty from the inside. Our mind is messy.
And the dirty mind does not accept the Supreme.
It is the reason why most people in the world are unable to get spiritual knowledge.
Which we also call – Salvation.
Now, your next question will be, what is this dirt of the mind? And how does it accumulate?
Actually, the dirt of the mind is nothing but the sins that we commit knowingly or unknowingly, or you could say willingly or unwillingly.
Now, you must be thinking that if we commit sins and our mind is dirty, then there must be some way to wash this dirt.
Spirituality : In Historic Books
According to Hindu beliefs, there are 68 pilgrimages in India.
Similarly, there are many in other religions too.
There is also a belief that if one takes a bath at a particular pilgrimage on a certain day, then a specific kind of sin is destroyed.
You might have heard about taking a bath at the Kumbh Mela, which is one of the most significant occasions in Hindu mythology.
But is it really possible that all sins and evil deeds are erased just by taking a bath on a pilgrimage?
According to me, there is no such pond in which our inner sins can be washed away by taking an external bath.
Do comment me with what’s your opinion on this.

Introduction To True Path
It is said that there is a door in between our past and future which opens towards the house of God.
And that door is The Door of the Present.
Often, we all have committed some sin in our past. And our mind keeps roaming in the mistakes made in the past.
Due to this, we keep thinking about how to try not to repeat such mistakes in the future.
And by getting stuck in this future and past affair, we fail to get rid of our sins. Thus, we are unable to focus on our present. Our present is something which is supposed to introduce us to God – The salvation path.
Now, you must be thinking about why the mind lives in the future or the past instead of living in the present.
The reason for this is that our mind tries to mesmerize us with all those memories of the past that made us feel joy.
It also takes us to the sorrows of the past, which made us heartbroken and sad.
Moreover, if we talk about the future, it makes us expect more and more good times and good fortune.
The Bitter Truth
The entire responsibility of religion rests on the fact that the mind should come out of time.
It is the only way with which we can come out of all the emotions related to the human mind.
Because in time, there is birth and death, happiness and sorrows, profit and loss.
As I said earlier, there are two different divergent related to time. And these either make us happy or sad, depending on what we are thinking about.
But trust me there is no such happiness in the world which does not turn into sorrow in the end.
There is no such birth which does not turn into death.
No matter how many birthdays we celebrate, one thing is sure: one day, we will have to suffer the renunciation of death.
No matter how much we boast of our youth, the truth is that one day, we will definitely become old and helpless.
With time, profit turns into loss, and respect turns into disgrace.
And our mind remains entangled in these two aspects of time.
An Ultimate Trick To Solve Problem With Spirituality
Now, the question arises: How can one come out of this?
As I said to you earlier, the only way to attain God or to successfully advance oneself toward spirituality is by using the present time suitably.
I want to assure you of one fact: the thousands of breaths that have passed and thousands of them yet to come can never take us towards the Supreme.
They can never make us achieve spirituality.
If we want to realize that eternal source of power, then we have to learn to live in this moment.
We have to learn how to use our present time in a way that can lead us to a journey of spiritualism.
And this is the only way to attain salvation.
So now the next question is, Is it that easy to reach at this stage? Can we all efficiently progress towards spirituality in our lives?
You might feel disheartened to hear the answer.
The answer is No.
It is not so easy to reach this door between the past and the future. The door that can help us to get to the destination we all are born to achieve.
Not everyone can get there. And even those who reach have to exert a lot of effort.
It is not so comfortable to achieve while living in the present zone.
What we had in the past is of no use to us now, and also, we cannot be too optimistic about whatever we are going to gain in the future.
One is that came and went away in vain, whereas the other is something that is yet to come.
We are doubtful about both aspects.
Therefore, nothing out of the two is worth discussing and wasting our time.
Who Can Attain Spirituality
Now, if a person still works hard and learns to be happy in his present time and utilize it in a better way, then believe me, in many ways, such a person has completed his spiritual journey to a great extent.
We can also assume that such a person has completed a considerable journey on the path of religion.
To a large extent, that person has been successful in seeing the pilgrimage that is within us.
Any person who has learned to live in the present rather than in the past or the future can successfully overcome the fear of death.
That person can think about reaching the next level.
It would not be wrong to call such a person a saint.
Like we cannot find a sandalwood tree in every forest, a saint with such a great personality who does not live in their past or future will not be found in every crowd.
Finding such a person is also a difficult task in itself.
Here, I want to share the words of Mahatma Buddha.
There are no good people in a large crowd, and there is no crowd of good people on this earth.
How To Overcome The Problem With Spirituality
To explain this, please understand that if ninety-nine people are doing something wrong and one person is doing that same work but rightly, then one person will be considered incorrect, and the other ninety-nine will be considered right.
Similarly, the number of people living in the present time is minimal.
The majority live in either their past or their future, and they are far from attaining spiritual pleasure.
This is the reason why most of the youth do not believe much in the term of salvation.
Whoever learns to live in the present moment and gets used to it rises above happiness and sorrow.
Such a person will see every happiness and sorrow equally.
Such a person will accept every moment as an offering given by God, and thus, they can attain salvation.
