Those who enter the world of spiritual have to go through one of the most harrowing experiences of being completely disconnected with the normal world.
First let us see how it all begins.
Three important things are required to attain spiritual fervor.
Grace of God has to descend upon you to actually understand what it means to know God, attain Brahman, get freedom, reach Self, understand realization and so on.
The second is the intense desire to get liberated while living this life.
The third is to seek and find the Guru who can take you across through this endless ocean of samsara.
At such times when the grace of God has descended upon you what happens to that person.
He/She undergoes an extreme transformation in life.
She goes through disconnect with everything.
She does not enjoy even the smallest pleasures of life.
The things that used to give immense happiness earlier become too much of a drag on the mind.
She would have mixed around with each and everyone but now the same company becomes very burdensome to her. Relatives are a disturbances and clearly not welcome.
Any friend that comes about as even asking about the whereabouts seems to be poking too much into the life of that sadhak. All sorts of inquiries are rejected.
Though nothing seems to be amiss in that sadhaks life, yet everything is!
The food does not taste right anymore. Even the idea of having food is cumbersome.
Leave alone the concept of peaceful sleep or rest are actually alien ideas.
They are awake most of the time or living with eyes open all the time.

Here are a sample of things that they think about almost all day long! Read on!

Can I shut off the entire world around and live the life of a recluse? Should I go to some faraway place and be alone all the time? Can no one come around asking why I live this way? Do I need to have a bath or do any daily ablutions at all?
Can I just keep on reading or doing a satsang with my Guru at the time?
Can I just stay with Him and not leave His company? Is it possible to know each and every book about God right here and now?  Can I meet Him in my quest easily?
Why do questions not occur to me all the time like every other dutiful sadhaka?
Can I become the sandals of my Guru's feet or just lie at His side like a pet?
Can someone please take care of my family so that I can just be left to myself all the time?
Do I really need to work for this life and attend to my daily food requirements?

Now know that this is a real condition of all the sadhakas and they have to pass through this intensely dispassionate nature on the path towards spiritual.
The detachment also comes along faster than they can think.
Not wanting even the most lovable company of the near and dear ones.
Marriage and parents, children and relatives, colleagues and friends, shopping and leisure, eating and drinking, travel and entertainment, education and worldly studies, walking or standing and even the smallest and silliest act are causing intense pain to this sadhaka.
Those which give immense pleasure are satsangs, bhajans, kirtans, reading scriptures, holy books, going to pilgrimages, having bath in holy rivers, watching movies or serials about Gods and divine beings, soft and soothing music like the flute or organs in temples......
Now I am sure if any of these symptoms are present in you, know that you have been bitten by the bug of the spiritual.
Then you can start horripilating, eyes watering, ears standing up, slithering down the back, intense laughter or smiles in presence of the divine and so on. You are now tagged forever in that!
