It is not just about food.
It is not just about emotion, digestion, or a psychological condition.
When a person sits alone for long periods, something deeper begins to operate. Sometimes the inner emotional rhythm dominates even the surrounding nature. Pressure builds in the mind. At times it appears as depression, sometimes as restlessness, sometimes as confusion. Everything can arise.
The one who is aware of this—aware of the emotional, mental, and spiritual layers—will face it directly. There is no escape. But the one who is unaware of himself cannot even face the situation. He does not understand what is happening. He becomes a victim of it. Slowly, such a person can lose balance.
For a spiritual person, awareness is not an exemption. It does not protect him from inner turbulence. It only enables close observation. He has to face everything consciously, without filters.
There is no certainty in this life.
Even something as basic as food cannot be fixed permanently. What suits the body today may become unsuitable tomorrow. Climate, environment, emotional fluctuations, cognitive load, and physical activity continuously change the internal state. The system is dynamic.
Today something feels right. Tomorrow the same thing proves wrong. This is not confusion. This is reality.
When one lives alone, the load is total. The decision-maker, the doer, and the experiencer are the same person. There is no external buffer. Every experiment, every understanding, and every consequence is faced alone.
Sitting alone is valuable for self-experimentation and self-understanding. But during emotional peak times or sudden inner bursts, it becomes extremely difficult. Because the disturbance does not remain only emotional or psychological. It penetrates the physiological and biological layers. Metabolism is affected. Digestion changes. And through that, the brain is affected.
This does not happen once and end. It happens in cycles—once every few days, weeks, or repeatedly across life.
Only those who are ready to face whatever comes each day can live such a life. With laziness or zero attention, this path is impossible. Spiritual life is not for such people.
A spiritual person does not choose discipline willingly. He is demanded by nature itself. He is demanded by his own inner structure. Otherwise, by default, he too would be lazy.
Discipline here is not moral.
It is not heroic.
It is not imposed.
It is survival.
Special Note
This writing is not meant to discourage newcomers or beginners on the spiritual path. It is not a warning meant to create fear, nor an argument against spiritual life.
It is only a statement of reality.
Spirituality does not mean escaping physical, emotional, psychological, or biological difficulties. It does not offer exemption from digestion issues, emotional fluctuations, mental pressure, or bodily limitations. These continue to exist.
What changes is readiness.
Spirituality means being ready to take every input given by nature, every law and every fluctuation, exactly as it enters the human mind and body. That readiness itself is spirituality.
A spiritual person does not selectively accept pleasant experiences and reject difficult ones. He prepares himself to face whatever comes, without denial and without escape.
Spiritual life is not an escape from life.
It is a readiness to receive life completely.
