What is Spirituality





What is Spirituality ?

Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature.

Spirituality can be defined generally as an individual's search for ultimate or sacred meaning, and purpose in life. Additionally it can mean to seek out or search for personal growth, religious experience, belief in a supernatural realm or afterlife, or to make sense of one's own "inner dimension".



What is difference between religious and spiritual?

There are some pretty clear ways in which religion and spirituality differ. 

Religion: This is a specific set of organised beliefs and practices, usually shared by a community or group. 

Spirituality: This is more of an individual practice, and has to do with having a sense of peace and purpose.



Do spiritual people believe in God?

People who say they are religious or spiritual (or both) generally believe in God or a higher power, while those who are neither religious nor spiritual tend to reject belief in God or a higher power altogether.



What a spiritual person does?

Such a person works for the universal welfare, ceases to have expectations from others, engages in benevolent actions only for self-satisfaction, without seeking approval from others, does not compare oneself with others and is always happy and content without attaching such state to others or to material objectives.


Can a person be spiritual but not religious ?
Many people think that spirituality and religion are the same thing, and so they bring their beliefs and prejudices about religion to discussions about spirituality. Though all religions emphasise spiritualism as being part of faith, you can be 'spiritual' without being religious or a member of an organised religion.




How do I know if I'm spiritual?
Spiritual people are not bogged down by expectations, assumptions, hate, resentment, extreme desire, or attachment to things and people. They understand the nature of impermanence, including their own, as everything and everyone around are in constant change.


What is a spiritual person like?
A major sign of a spiritual person is that they are always happy and kind to others. They don't like to degrade or criticise people. Instead, they always offer motivating and kind words, in hopes to make the world a better place. If you also believe in the same values, then yes, you're a spiritual person.


How do you know if you are a chosen one spiritually?
You respect the powers of the universe or a higher power. You see a greater plan unfolding, and you know you're here to bring light and love into the world. If you recognize these signs in your life, it's time to listen to the call. You're on a unique spiritual journey, guided and protected by higher powers.


How do you discipline yourself spiritually?
Personal Spiritual Disciplines:
  1. Scripture (reading, studying, meditating, memorizing)
  2. Prayer (alone and with others)
  3. Worship.
  4. Fasting.
  5. Journaling.
  6. Silence and Solitude.




Conclusion: It's important to note that spirituality is a deeply personal and diverse aspect of human experience. Different individuals may find spiritual fulfillment in various ways, whether through organized religion, nature, philosophy, or personal practices. Integrating spirituality into your life can provide a powerful framework for experiencing life fully and finding deeper connections with yourself, others, and the world around you.
