Spiritual Life & Material Life

In many ways, we all live double lives: because we are both matter and spirit. On the matter side, we have a physical body with many needs - physical and even emotional. We seek gainful employment or business opportunities and romance to fulfill our materialistic concept of self, which is mostly about our image and what others think about us - so we work hard to have a nice car, home, and other material possessions so others say "wow, that person is a success". On the other hand, we are spiritual beings: and we are naturally part of the Cosmos in which we live. Vedanta Philosophy asserts that the Sacred Syllable OM allows us to experience our inherent connection with the Universe because the sound vibration of OM is the same vibration that defines our Spiritual Essence and Source. So, meditation and contemplation on OM can grant us a powerful experience that helps us to experience the bliss associated with our Spiritual Life. Ultimately, the material self will fall by the wayside, because its nature is temporal. All the while, the spiritual self remains, and within just minutes, one can easily re-tune into the Divine Sound of the Cosmos, OM, and remember that our true sense of self is based in Divine Spirit.
