Spiritual Principles Teachers Offer To Students

By Paul Wood


When it comes to living a quality life, it can often be difficult. Whether living in poverty, or in a huge mansion, there are often times which can seem unbearable. As a result there are seven spiritual principles teachers have offered to students which can often help individuals on a daily basis.

In most cases, there are seven basic principles which spiritual gurus and teachers suggest for a happy and healthy life. These include, gratitude, humility, generosity, forgiveness, optimism, intention and expectation. In all cases, each of these principles have different meanings. As such, it is up to each individual to impart as one sees fit based on the spiritual path oneself finds one on at the time.

While a guide or mentor may teach one to understand various religious and spiritual concepts, it is not that understanding which is the goal. For, it is a personal experience which an individual undergoes during the process that is the most important aspect and outcome of such teachings. As such, a teacher may or may not be able to help one understand the principles and practices of any said religion or spiritual path, rather might lead the individual to discover what one believes is true according to the individual's true nature.

While school teachers often teach a particular subject, spiritual guides and mentors can often lead individuals on a journey for truth. In some cases, this can involve an actual journey whereas in others it is a journey of the mind. In all cases, the process is intended to lead the individual to knowledge which already exist within the soul of the person.

Optimism is often thought of in relation to positive thinking and processes such as the laws of attraction. While it is important to maintain positive thoughts, it is also important to process that which crosses one mind. As a result, optimism comes in the processing of converting negative thoughts into positive ones. At the same time, it is important to take care of any issues which arise rather than allowing stress to build over time.

In some cases, individuals may take these teachings to mean there is no such thing as a student or teacher. After all, if everything is truly one, then how can there be two is a question many ask. At which time, most guides or mentors explain that everything is relative to reality at the moment. As such, while there appears to be a student and teacher, it is only a temporary phenomenon of a future reality.

As such, a mentor operates on a level that is relative in the moment. For, once the student has become aware of the true nature of oneself, then the teacher has become a part of the student, thus the two have become one. Whether a quirk, or way of speaking, all in all in the end all are one and one are all according to most spiritual mentors and guides.

The last two principles go hand in hand. For, without intention one can not have expectation. For some, having expectations can be a drawback as doing so can lead to disappointment. Still, by merging intention with expectation, individuals can often draw the energies one desires into life.
