Every soul has a close relationship with the Supreme (God), but we simply
forget it as we become over-involved in, attached to and distracted by our
life on the physical plane and our different relationships with different
physical beings during our journey of births and rebirths. Spirituality
makes us realize the need of restoring our connection with God, which has
either broken or has become loose. It also makes us realize that this
connection needs to be a very deep and personal one.
*God plays many roles, just as a good parent, being one, but will play many
roles while bringing up his or her child. Each role consists of different
spiritual characteristics and virtues of God, expressed by Him.* Take a few
moments to think about the main roles that God plays in our life and
identify the main virtues and characteristics which He expresses e.g. in the
role of Father He demonstrates the art of living to us and how to perform
right 'karmas'. In the role of Mother he gives spiritual sustenance, in the
form of virtues like peace, love and joy to us. In the role of Teacher, he
showers us with true knowledge of the spirit or the soul. These are just a
few examples. We suggest you do your own thinking about seven different
roles that God plays: *Father, Mother, Teacher, Guide (or 'Guru'), Companion
(or Beloved), Friend, Child* and how he plays them. Once you have done this
inner thinking exercise, experience each of these seven roles on each of the
seven different days of the week, one role per day. Feel Him being in that
role for you and then note what you feel exactly and how you relate to
Him. Also identify the spiritual characteristics and virtues that it
brings out from within you.
