Clearly deciding now, what you want to build in your whole life, and always aligning your action to it: this is what I call 'spiritual practice'.
In my case, I came with the clarity of what I want – Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching myself and others - and my actions were always aligned to it. That is why I claim that I am 'born enlightened', understand? It was very clear, a spontaneous expression.
Every moment, let your thinking be aligned to what you want to show you as you to the world (outer image), what you want to feel as you to you (inner image), what you want others to feel as you (others' image), and what you want to feel as the world and life (life image). Again and again and again, align yourself to that authentically.
The best inner image you want to have, best outer image you want to have, best others image you want to have, best life image you want to have, how much ever you think it is difficult, IT IS ACHIEVABLE, be very clear! The idea of your difficulty is nothing but your SDHD (self-doubt, self-hatred, self-denial).
I will give an example: If you are driving on a hot road during the summer, at midday, sometimes you will see a mirage of water on the road. It will literally look like a large water body in the middle of the road. But do you need to bring big motor pumps and pipes, and drain that water for your car to move ahead? No. You just need to understand it is an illusion and drive on. Same way, your SDHD, you don't need to be struggling with it. You just need to know it is your SDHD and move ahead!
