Quite a few people have expressed the view that it
is easy for an introvert to embrace spirituality. The moment we say a person is
an introvert, the commonly understood context is that the person does not like
to go out and mix with other people, a person who is shy, anti-social and so
on. This common perception is not entirely accurate as one cannot say that introverts
do not want to go out and mix or meet with friends – it is just that they need
time to themselves to recharge themselves after which they are ready to mix.
Individuals who are introversive are naturally
inclined to spirituality as they tend to ground themselves by exploring the
path of spirituality. Such people are so used to quietness and viewing their
inner self that introverts have the power to dig deep and embrace the path of
spirituality more easily.
People who are introversive tend to give more priority
and importance to their inner voice and inner compass to help make decisions. Introverts
also strengthen their gut feelings with the help of looking rather than seeking
help from external parties. They spend time and energy to improve their
instincts and internal feelings towards the path of spirituality, to achieve
oneness.
The world has shifted
over the years, instead of individuals prioritizing other individuals; they
have moved to giving more attention to material objects. In the case of
introverts and spirituality, that shift has not come about. They still give
higher regard to deeper and more meaningful connections, as compared to
superficial and unimportant ones.
Instead of wasting
high-value energy on meaningless interactions, introverts like to save their
energy for connections, which help them grow and build themselves. Spirituality
is the basis through which introverts extend themselves into a more positive
and growth-filled space.
Introverts take to meditation with ease as they are
very comfortable being with their own selves, it is like being in their natural
introversive state. Such people put all their energy in forming more profound
connections rather than running after worldly items. Introverts have experience
with thinking deep and spending time alone, they have the power to get in touch
with their true calling – seeking the unknown.
On becoming introversive, on turning inwards – whether
you are an introvert or an extrovert – it does not matter, because, once you turn inwards interest in the outer world starts
dissipating, you realise that the outer world is a mirage and the inner world
is reality. The peace, silence and joy which one encounters within one’s own
self is what both introverts and extroverts seek – but this comes more easily
to introverts.
