Spirituality is always practiced in isolation, never in company of others. Spirituality can never be taught, it has to be learnt from within indulging in contemplation (chintan).
In yesteryears to indulge in spirituality, contemplate on God sages and Rishis went to deep dense confines of jungles (forests) in the Himalayas. For this very reason Maharshi Ramana advocated practice of silence. Becoming an introvert one can indulge in spirituality in a better way.
The most a company of seekers can do was clarify queries within them. This is called Satsanga, a dialogue session of like-minded people. But journey of spirituality is always carried within in isolation. Only a very accomplished Yogi can indulge in spirituality even in crowded places.
Spirituality is always an individual experience and the journey into the unknown uncharted territory is sometimes very frightening.
When in pursuit of God six years of age I was sometimes unable to handle the kundalini snake that gazed at me point-blank. No matter how best I tried I could not shake the snake away. Ultimately I had to shift my bed to my parents’ room until the fear disappeared.
As contemplation (chintan) is the only way to indulge in spirituality, the journey was always isolated and an individual experience. The wisdom contained in sacred texts was meant to cut darkness of ignorance, nothing more. Indulging in scriptures we never gained anything in life, but spiritual precepts detailed in Bhagavad Gita helped us dissolve our queries within.
The moment all queries within dissolve to zero, one reaches stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi (absolute nothingness) when not a single thought entered our brain uninvoked. From state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi reaching state of enlightenment is not far away.
