Team spirituality



If you ask an internet savvy youth working in a well known MNC what Team Work is, invariably the answer would be– The process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve a goal. This is a good definition of team work but not complete. We need to go beyond the conference room definition of a team to understand the meaning of team work.

Truly speaking, practical spirituality is the sole answer to the above problem. When we start taking small steps on the path of spirituality, ego weans away and gradually the inner power becomes stronger. Spirituality makes an individual resort to tolerance and constructive criticism. And, when such individuals come together as a team, they do not land up in blame games in the event of flaws. One may note that practical spirituality is nothing but meditating upon one's inner light revealed by a 'true' spiritual mentor.

Team work demands respect for team members. In fact, respect is something natural, as all individuals respect themselves. When we say, I respect you, it means I trust you and what you say or do carries value. Each member in the team needs to value the other's words and deeds. This way mutual respect and trust are established in the team. Each member in the team feels valued and this ensures best output for the team as each member puts in his best.

Yes of course, it is possible! To lead us to such a state of eternal bliss, spiritual teachers invite us from time to time. Mahatma Buddha used to tell his disciples often, ‘Practice peace!’ Sufi Saint Rumi proclaimed, “Do not entangle into the prison of fear. Practice Silence—get yourself liberated from the imprisonment of frightening thoughts.Practice Silence.”

Remember, sealing the lips and abstaining from talking don’t mean you are silent. “Manah Mrityum Maunam” – When the mind dies, silence sprouts! Death of the mind means: controlling the mind to the extent of thoughtlessness. A state in which no useless or disturbing thought is permitted to evolve! Through this thoughtless or say mindful state, the fountain of bliss emerges!

To reach that state, genuine Spiritual Gurus have reiterated that one and only Eternal Technique (Brahm Gyan), which is known with different names. Lord Krishna named it “Rajayoga.” Sage Patanjali gave it a more academic expression by saying, “Yog Chit Vritti Nirodh.” Upanishads proclaimed it as “Atma Gyan.”
