It Is The Best In Us Uplifting The Worst In Us Poem by Savita Tyagi

Spirituality Is About Individuality


Spirituality is the buzz word for the new era.
It is fashionable to be spiritual.
It brings the best out of an individual.
Being religious can put you in the lowest denomination
But being spiritual suddenly elevates you
To unimaginable height, here and beyond the worldly sphere.

So very often I have thought
What Spirituality really is?
Is it the zenith of humanity,
A beacon of light for the world full of suffering?

So closely related to religion, still beyond the reach
It is from any religious dimension.
It's a question long-standing in isles of history
Eons have passed, without an answer satisfactory.

Is it the label suited for the best of humankind?
For the one who fights the devil of a perfidious mind.
But what reveals to me like a flashing light
Makes me believe, it is meant to be in par
With the thought, that occurs to me.

Spirituality is about individuality.
It is the individualized center of our
Very own essence, nexus of our reliance
On our innermost Self as our primary friend,
Our guide and our cherished companion.

In the heart of all existences abides
The eternal portion of Supreme existence.
Complete in itself yet clandestine and
Obscured in our outward personality.

When confused and delusional,
Reaches out to it our outward self.
In the silence of our heart and mind,
We wade through the chaos of duality,
To bring about the best of humanity.

In faith and devotion, we learn
To recognize its true guidance.
One who suppresses its call
Is the destroyer of its own well-being.

The best of our Self tailored to our needs
Living in harmony and conscious awareness
Of other's individuality and spiritual being.
It is the best in us uplifting the worst in us.
