Do not neglect the cultivation of the Spirit

Alma fight is not lost soul without hope. Soul who does not pray is past due before fighting soul. P. Tomas Morales, S.J.

First, it is necessary to take care of the soul if you want the head and the rest of the body function properly. Plato

There are increasing signs on planet Earth for those who live in on the important responsibility of being awake and grow while we are given the opportunity to grow our spirit life without affecting anyone.

Every day we face trials, situations where we see when we are not directly affected, how many calamities, catastrophes occur, where signs are signs that invite us to us to be more careful about whether we are cultivating our spirit. Wars, violence, hunger, poverty, natural disasters: earthquakes, cyclones, hurricanes take a heavy toll, and many times we tell God why! What is happening? Why so much trouble? .

This has a reason for being, where man has strayed from the straight path, the path of God, is more attached to materialism and neglected one of the fundamental tasks is to cultivate his mind, has been neglected so the enclose virtues, we bequeath to these teachings have more strength in the cultivation of our spirit.

It is very true indicating rsanzcarrera.wordpress.com., There is always a spirit to be cultivated, and whose care requires renovation and dedication of time. There are simple occupations, although I suppose, but above all something that has to permeate our whole life.

That spirit requires care-so that there is something vague and general, a regular commitment of time as specific as possible. A time when we work to renew, refresh, for reviewing our commitment to the truths that inspire us (in the case of faith, also a commitment to personal contact with who created us and whom we all). This is an important time, because you can not forget that the greatest battles are fought in our lives every day in the silence of the soul, and only if we win those battles, if we resolve these inner conflicts well, you get that peace and satisfaction inside we need.

Definitely, we must be alert, awake optimally exploiting the time it gives us in our daily lives, surprising in the way we act, we interrelated, we grow and we care about strengthening our spirit.

We must not be contaminated by illusion, desire, materialism, anything that upsets us, affects us in our spiritual growth, we must build on our strengths and with them, providing the spiritual food that requires our spirit towards its growth.

Consider what Max Ehrmann suggests that can help us cultivate our spirit as:

Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be found in the Silence as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly. And listen to others even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story. Dodge loud and aggressive persons they are vexations to the espíritu.Si you compare yourself with others you may become vain and bitter, for there will always be larger and smaller tú.Disfruta your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, she is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business, because the world is full of trickery But let this not blind you to what virtue existe.Hay many persons strive for high ideales.La life is full of heroism. Be yourself especially do not feign affection Neither be cynical about love, for in the midst of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the hierba.Acata kindly the counsel of the years gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Grow strength of spirit to protect you sudden misfortune. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you deserve to exist. And it is clear to you or no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God whatever your idea of ​​him and whatever your labors and aspirations want, keep peace with your soul in the noisy confusion of all its sham vida.Aún penalties and Faido dreams, the world caution is still beautiful strive to be happy.

'So I did,' replied the student: Well, for now return to the cemetery and spend the evening pouring insults and injuries to muertos.El disciple left maestro.Llegada obey the order of the night, returned from nuevo.-Master During the morning, I extolled the virtues of the dead with all kinds of praise, but this afternoon I have grievously offended those same dead with great insults. Can you tell me now the focus of your commands? - What do you answered the dead? - Once asked his teacher - and not satisfied with your praise boasted?, Maybe they became indignant and angry with your insults?-But master, that's not possible.

How will they react if they are dead? 'Well that's exactly what you expect of yourself: the absence of reactions, both to the offense as to praise. If someone insults you and turn your anger, do not you see the power over you? If someone praises you and ignites your vanity, do not you see the power over you? Your inner peace you have now in the hands of others or in the possession of the events around you. Go and break those chains, regain your freedom and then you will find inner peace.
