It’s OK if you start with selfishness.In both professional and spiritual world.I will share my thoughts .Initially I started always picking up new technologies to just build my resume to remain valuable in job market but slowly and slowly it became my habit and I forgot my narrow mindedness of “for impressive resume”. Now it has become my DNA .I enjoy learning new technologies .
I don’t have much experience but same may be true in spiritual world .you get attached with god for your needs and may be end up being better human being or an awaken person.May be it happened as per Maslow’s hierarchy of needs .What does that mean? Means it may have happened with because initially I had less money to fulfill my basic needs and today I have as a result I am thinking about spirituality or being forgiving ( 🙂 I am fully not yet .Have just started ).But I think it really does not matter .What matters is transition.
Tulsi became Goswami Tulsidas after her wife insulted him.He may have gone to the direction to get rid of his pain but later it became the reason of ultimate joy.
One illiterate became the greatest Sanskrit poet Kalidas after his wife insulted him.So it really doesnt matter how it starts ,what matters is transition.
Ulataa naam japat jag jaana ,balmiki bhaye bramha samanana ……. what a transition.A robber became the great author,poet Balmiki.
What really makes Siddharth ,the Buddha is a kind positive selfishness.he wanted to find the way where there is no pain,no affect of age ( Jara janma se mukti).this also a height of positive selfishness where you dont hurt any one because of your selfishness.There is no jealousy , no enmity but the purest form of selfishness.
