Signs of spiritual awakening are like milestones to spiritual enlightenment.
Most people come to the spiritual field because of some pain and sorrow in their lives.
Even some very rich people and kings came to this field. They had everything in their lives. Then why did they pursue this field?
Even they had everything in their lives but they felt some emptiness. Some fears were there like the fear of death.
Nobody wants to die and your materialistic richness cannot save you from your death. That was the pain and sorrow in their lives. It is one of the other causes.
And ordinary people too have so many problems, pains, and sorrows in their lives.
To get rid of them, we pursue spirituality and when we actually pursue spirituality, we start progressing towards its ultimate end.
The ultimate end of spirituality is spiritual enlightenment. However, the way or path through which we reach there is called the spiritual awakening.
Spiritual awakening is not the destination. The destination is spiritual enlightenment and beyond. Beyond is not the topic of this post. We only discuss some signs of spiritual awakening here.
When someone is on the way that is the spiritual awakening, he feels a lot of transformations in his life.
He feels some progressive signs of spiritual awakening.
In todays post, we are going to discuss those progressive signs of spiritual awakening. Everybody on the way to enlightenment feels it. However, his way of describing them can be different.
I write on my blog for two types of people. One belongs to that category those want to live the mystery of life and enlightenment and other belongs to that category those want to explore the mystery of life and enlightenment.
There is a huge difference between the two. Todays post is for the first category that wants to live the mystery of life and enlightenment.
I hope at the end of this post, you must understand what I want to convey here.
Try to understand them deeply as might be you have these signs of spiritual awakening but your way of describing them is different. If you have any question, you can ask me in the comment box.
I shall be very grateful to you if you share this post on your social channels. At the end of this post, you can download a PDF of this article for your future recommendation.

Thanks.
Lets start,
In aloneness, you start thinking mostly about spiritual awakening.
In your friend circle, you start talking about it. Sometimes your friends feel bored with it. You can notice it. Some friends will leave you.
You can want to live alone most of the time.
Or if you are with other people, you can want to talk only about spirituality. It is one of the progressive signs of spiritual awakening.
As a meditator, you start giving full attention to your work.
You start feeling good at your work. Your indulgence into your work has been increased.
Sometimes, you feel ecstasy and bliss during your work. You want to increase it so you can start more indulgence in your work.
You want to apply meditation in every act of your life. However, it depends upon the teachings of your guru or teacher.
Some guru suggests only some techniques of meditation and some guru say that it should spread on your whole life.
It depends upon the teachings of your guru.
But most gurus want to spread the meditation on the whole life. So, they suggest making every act of your life as meditation. Their method may be different. Some can attack your kitchen too.
They can suggest that you should eat this and you should not eat that. Interestingly they can enter into your washroom too.
They can suggest how to bathe. They can suggest that when you bathe, feel that water is not falling on you but on your body. You are separate from your body.
So: You start giving full attention to your present work.
Most probably you choose a guru and start following him.
It can be a living guru or a dead one. However, you choose to read his books or sermons.
It is because your mind wants to know more about it. Something happens to you but you dont know what it is. You want to know more about it.
Now you are reading this post, it means already something has happened inside you. You want to know more and more about it. You want to get it.
Your mind is very clever. Actually, your mind is a protective device for this body.
So as a protective one, it wants to know what it is that has happened to it. It wants to protect your body from it.
That something weird happened to your body is a warning signal for your mind.
So:
It wants to make clarity about it. Your mind wants to go into it.
However, your mind is in fear. This thing is new for it. It wants to make it clear and safe. It becomes very sharp and that is one of the signs of spiritual awakening.
You listen to lectures or sermons of your guru or spiritual teachers.
Actually, our mind is greedy. When your guru says that kill the mind and what left will be your true essence that will be ecstasy and bliss,
Then:
The greedy mind wants to get that entity that is bliss and ecstasy.
Interesting thing is that your mind starts feeling ecstasy and bliss while listening to or reading the books related to spiritual awakening or during meditation.
And it is one of the signs of spiritual awakening. Greediness is one quality of mind to capture things in life. You can be greedy in spirituality too.
If you daily do meditation, then you can experience this sign of spiritual awakening. Meditation can be of any type.
Like you can run and can be in meditation. However, your full presence in the act is crucial.
You should know what you are doing. I mean your full indulgence in that work is very crucial
And the sign of spiritual awakening is:
Your sudden separateness from your body and mind.
It comes in a flash.
Interesting thing is that it does not come with a signal. It comes suddenly.
For example, if one day this sign comes suddenly and next day with a plan you will do the same meditation and will hope that the yesterday experience will come again, it is sure that it will not come.
So:
It will come suddenly without telling you anything. And it will come with a sudden glimpse or flash.
It is one of the signs of spiritual awakening.
That can be six months or a year.
Before it, you were studying books and were doing meditation but suddenly you will completely forget about them.
It may be due to some urgent reasons for your life. In students, it may be exams and in other persons, some crucial work comes in their lives.
So, they forget about meditation completely for that period.
However, in your subconscious mind, signs of spiritual awakening are progressing and will appear in the future.
One cause is urgent work or something else urgent and second cause is that when you will do act or meditation techniques for a long time, they become boring.
A mind can never live in boring acts. Either it wants to change them or wants to make them interesting.
Your diversion from meditation after some time is natural. It is a good sign. It means you are actually doing meditation.
That is why now you start feeling some boredom out of them.
It is one of the signs of spiritual awakening.
After refreshment, you can again start doing acts and techniques that will lead to spiritual enlightenment. It is just natural.
First, it was confined to your meditation only but now it can spread on the other acts of your life too.
Like when you will walk, you will suddenly feel that you are separate from the walking act. Body is walking and you are separate from it. Your legs are walking. Your arms are swaying but you are separate from them.
Now, it comes for a long lapse of time and then goes away. Now it can be your volunteer activities.
For example, if you are walking and you suddenly remember that now you have time and you can do meditation with your walking.
So, you do it and suddenly you are separate from your body and mind. Your body is walking and you are watching it.
However, when you indulge into some busy chore for example, in front of you, a car is approaching towards you with a very fast speed, your whole act of separateness from body and mind will vanish away.
You will forget about it for that moment and maybe for the rest of your day. Your churning mind will dominate the stage of your life.
You can feel this one in several times of your day. It can come for a longer time when you are safe and not busy and it will vanish away when you are not safe and are busy.

Thanks.
Your interest in studying books or listening to the spiritual subjects diminishes. You can read them but you feel that everywhere the same thing has mentioned.
Before that, you read the books with full interest but now you seldom read them.
Sometimes, you start reading and leave the book halfway. You think you know what this book is going to say.
It is one of the good signs of spiritual awakening.
Now you can go into witness or watcher state of your being where you feel separate from your body and mind. Now you know the technique so you dont need a book or a guru.
