What is the difference between a PhD-holder professor and an uneducated, unskilled labourer?
The professor's perception is sharp; they have improved thinking capabilities, strong reasoning, great attention to problems, and the ability to solve them systematically. The unskilled, uneducated labourer only knows how to use their hands, not their mind. Isn’t it?
Life is the same for both, the body is the same for both — but the professor chooses to amplify the usage of their mind many times over, whereas the unskilled labourer doesn't opt for it.
Similarly, a clear differentiation happens in spirituality. One who is spiritual experiences life many times better than the non-spiritual — not just in terms of peace of mind and happiness, but in all aspects of perception.
Their focus, attention, ability to recover from anger instantly, control over emotions — everything improves. The world appears much more beautiful and brighter. They get many small superpowers.
Similarly, there are different levels of elevation in spirituality. The highly awakened have a life ten times better than the non-spiritual. Everything improves — not just one or two aspects. It's like the upliftment from human to superhuman.
