Why do people say that devotion or spirituality practice is for old person only?

The notion of Devotion and Spirituality is for older people is not valid. As long as your life is going smooth and is well taken care of, you may not feel like getting into these.

However, Devotion and Spirituality are like shock absorbers. You will be able to appreciate them much only when travelling on a bumpy road. The sooner you incline to these, the better you will be equipped to make adventurous trips into life or the unknown without any fear.The wisdom that comes from understanding of this existence will make you confident, compassionate and ego free. You will come to know that there is something to take care of you. It is like knowing the rules and regulations written in the Nature’s Manual. It is understanding the Laws of Nature.

It is like reading the instructions before you start operating any machine or using a product. The literature and practices of Devotion and Spirituality are like instructions to use this nature and contribute to the wellbeing of this existence.

Our mind always resists the good things and tries to portray the easiest things as good. Over a period of time, we become the tool of our mind. The ultimate purpose of having a mind itself is defeated and we fall into ways that endanger us and also inflicting harm to the society.

We need to discipline and tame our mind with relevant activities and process so that we become catalysts for a better society. Devotion and Spirituality holds these processes and brings in the calmness of mind to take better decisions and achieve ultimate bliss.

The sooner we learn, the better we can perform and make life blissful.
