I suppose it is better to be non adhyatmik ( non spiritual) than a person carrying the weight of spirituality and being always unhappy .
Even those girls and boys are better than this person who dont know what is adhyatma and sitting in a restaurant,laughing together and enjoying .
Its better to not know all these heavy concepts than to know them for creating a mental hell.
Adhyatma is not about sadness .It may be about seriousness but certainly not about sadness .
Adhyatma liberates hence gives path of ultimate joy which is endless.
For practicing this our puranas and epics prescribe certain life style and thought process.
We make it complicated due to our limited knowledge and attitude towards life.
Knowledge is the entrance of adhyatma and definition of knowledge it self is.
Sa vidya ya vimuktaye . “jo mukta kare wo gyan hai” jo bandan me daale wo gyan kaise hua .
knowledge liberates .If it is confining you in the sorrow then it is not knowledge .
Check your knowledge again.
It has been prescribed again and again that you should make Guru after searching a lot otherwise you may live two hells .
One of your own and another of your Guru.
