There is a direct correlation between water and spirituality in several different cultures. For instance, Indians believe that water is the creative life force. The Chinese believe that water is a very strong feng shui element. In western culture, catholic churches place significant importance on water as well. According to Christianity, it is believed that pouring water over the head for the count of 3 times liberates one from the original sin.
"Fountain of life" is the symbolic representation of water in Bible (Psalm 36). As discussed above, one of the initiation rituals of Baptism involves sprinkling of water over the head for purification.
Its ability to take the shape of its container is what separates water from most of the other materials. This "flexibility" of water is regarded highly among the spiritual guru's and monks. They really appreciate the ability of water to take any form whatsoever. According to Zen theory, this ability is an ultimate spiritual point in one's journey towards enlightenment.
What limits us from reaching the next level of spiritual growth is the constant chatter of mind and ego distractions. Non-attachment is a state of mind where you don't let external event bother you at all. This place of "letting whatever happen be okay" is the state where spiritual growth and enlightenment begins.
As water trickles through the tabletop fountain, it takes whichever path it is offered. It takes whichever shape it is given. It is not attached to the pre-destined path. This is a true sign of "non-attachment". There is no strain or resistance in water as it flows through the path it is offered. It simply takes the path without any resistance. Our lives would be a lot more easy-going and relaxed only if nature of our minds resembled with the nature of water.
In today's world, spirituality is important part of our life. A spiritual lifestyle is truly easy to live and there are many options. We are spiritually developing as a civilization. Our civilization has been expanding its consciousness. A tabletop fountain helps you create calm and tranquil lifestyle by its very nature. It is an ideal tool to start off your spiritual journey. In addition to its symbolic connotation with spirituality and religion, a tabletop fountain has many health benefits. It purifies the air that surrounds us. As water re-circulates through the tabletop fountain, it adds moisture to the air that surrounds it. This results in purification and cleansing of the air that we breathe. Moisturized air helps us reduce the symptoms of itchy and dry skin.
