Knowledgeable Teachers

Meaning: as stated in the Athervaved 8/1/6 - Those who believe in God's wish and the preaching's of the Gurujan (knowledgeable teachers) and continue to proceed in difficulties, they receive honor in the society. They are praised everywhere.
Message: The soul has been given this human body by God's wish. God has decided our main task, that is, while solving the difficulties in the path of life, one should always work for the progress of the self and the society.
We should never be disappointed, because God is ever ready to cooperate in our progress. We have to make tremendous effort. God never wishes our downfall. We ourselves get trapped in bad, wicked activities and prepare the road for downfall. God wants to make our life so full of life force and powerful that the whole world will bow down before its brightness. We should properly realize the real power of our soul and body.
Most men do not really recognize their 'atmashakti' (soul's strength or spiritual strength) and thinking that their body is everything; surrender themselves to its service. This produces many types bodily and mental perversities and their hearts are filled with the offensive smell of the mire of their perversities. They forget that this body is merely the vehicle for the atma (or the soul). One who allows the body to rule his sour, his spiritual-light does not spread outside, and it hinders his progress. One whose soul or atma firmly pulls up the rein to restrain the body, he progressively climbs the steps of spiritual progress and reaches the peak.
The life-force of such a man increases daily and becomes fully developed as he grows old. Man becomes helpful in making the society properly cultured by contributing from the vast treasure of his knowledge and experience and also develops his own capacity for struggling against difficulties. Difficulties will always come in life's passage. it is not that we will get everything in life as desired. Only the capability of successfully coming out of a difficult situation takes our character to a higher level. With that a person receives honor and praise everywhere. The soul's strength and the strength of prana (the life-force) is tested by struggle. Through God's desire these difficulties arise in our path and by arousing us from our slumber, they inspire us towards spiritual uplift. The Supreme Father is very benevolent and his grace is constantly showered upon his beloved sons. The difficulties in life are His blessings in disguise. They create an opportunity for repenting for sins that man has committed in his previous births. Like gold's refinancing in a furnace makes it pure and bright, similarly the soul is made to shine while it boldly faces the difficulties.
One who does not become disappointed and frustrated in difficult situations and encourages others, he only is a true Brahman.

Spiritual spirit comes from the very inner layer of our body. This is known as feeling of an individuals.
