What is spirituality?

Spirituality is the study of the spirit. As simple as that.

There is a Hindi word called Aadhyatma, which is translated as transcendental. This word is a misnomer for spirituality.

If someone needs to work on spirituality, the first mandatory thing is to admit that there exists something called spirit.

Spirit has nothing to do with heaven or transcendence. Spirit have nothing to do with God or the devil; spirit is something that could be identified as a singular entity. We will be exploring the elements of the singular entity in the coming articles, but right now, we can just say that a spirit is something that exists.

Why is spirituality?

Simple, because some people like me discovered something which was beyond the experience that our existence was capable of handling or understanding at that moment or a breakthrough.

What is the need for spirituality?

So, for you as an individual, what is the need for spirituality? If you are a dedicated atheist, there is no need for spirituality for you.

But if you are a tiny bit curious, then you are welcome.

Secondly, the true scientific approach involves the discovery of elements which could impact your existence in any manner.

I do not wish you to jump to the conclusion that a spirit exists or not, that God exists or not, or something else.

The primary goal remains that I can share the necessary tools which could help you to make informed decisions.

I make no claims about delivering something substantial; I will try my best.

I am neither a salesman nor a worshiper.

How spirituality differs from Religion?

On a public commercial vehicle, it was written that “Jesus saved me.”

And that’s religion for you. Jesus and, more importantly, the church came to a poor man’s help. A poor man is a spiritually fragile man whose spirit is for sale. The first person who is willing to buy his soul for money. He will make his limited understanding serve the master like a dog.

On the other hand, spirituality is a place of exploration. It is about making tangible decisions about the existence of the things which can impact your existence.

Religion provides relief and belonging where others do not want to provide you with the basic comforts of life. Religion is an overhyped sense of belonging and expression of pseudo-morality.

Meanwhile, religion can also do good, but in the long run, belief will always turn into something very mutated and exploited.

Where religion comes in handy?

Religion is the only one which has preserved the traces of spirituality and its womb.

See, the people do not wish to associate with religion because the modern person aligns religion with poverty and stupid statements. But a truly curious person can derive the golden nuggets from the pile of this manure.

And most importantly, sometimes religion puts food on the plate.

Religion is a culmination of people’s beliefs over an unknown course of time. There are facts and fiction, and only a curious mind can distinguish between the two.

Spirituality as a tool of classification

Once you have identified something as a singular existence, you can study its properties and then apply the wisdom gained from this experience to better explore and exploit that singular entity.

The first and most important law is that if there is a spirit, there is interaction, and then there is all the explorable possibilities.

You, as an individual, are a spirit.

Spirituality truly is the joy of exploration.
