At some point in life, everyone faces moments of feeling left out or unloved. These feelings can arise from losing someone dear, a lack of recognition, emotional support, or even self-worth. In such moments, a person may feel like no one cares about them, values them, or considers them important.
When faced with this emptiness, people often choose one of two paths.
The first path is one of self-destruction. It involves trying to escape the pain through harmful habits like alcohol, addiction, or excessive indulgence in temporary pleasures. While these might provide momentary relief, they ultimately lead to further harm and self-destruction.
The second path is a journey toward goodness and self-discovery. Here, the person seeks a solution for lasting peace and fulfillment—something that doesn’t depend on material success or external validation. This journey leads to the pursuit of inner happiness, which is beyond the fleeting joys of the material world.
In this process, the person begins to question the deeper aspects of life:
“Why am I here?”
“What happens after death?”
“Does my existence have any meaning?”
“Is there someone beyond this material world who loves and cares for me unconditionally?”
These questions mark the beginning of a spiritual journey—a search for something greater than the physical world. The individual starts exploring books, spiritual practices, and philosophies that guide them toward self-discovery. Gradually, they begin to connect with their inner self and seek answers that lie beyond the material world.
This first stage of spiritual awakening often begins unconsciously, but it opens the door to a deeper understanding of life and a connection with the divine. It is the start of a profound journey toward finding peace, purpose, and unconditional love.
In the next stage, the journey progresses further, uncovering deeper layers of spiritual growth.
