Why Spirituality, What it Teaches?

By -
Why do we need spirituality? A very valid question. Spirituality is something which gives direction to life, a purpose to life and helps us to unleash the divine residing in our hearts. It is a discipline and a way of life, without which we lose direction.

Many people think that spirituality is for those who are fit for nothing and have no aim in life or so. But the fact is that, Spiritual people are the ones who want to lead a balanced life, fulfilling both spiritual and material duties, doing justice to both.

Spirituality teaches us that we have a responsibility towards fellow beings and the entire life (trees, animals, humans etc). If teaches us to use all the resources carefully (both natural and human) and not to waste any of them. It teaches us that we should give a part of our earnings for the benefit of the society and for spiritual causes.

It teaches us to have a responding and sympathetic heart towards all life (trees, animals, humans etc). Spirituality teaches us not to look for God somewhere out, it helps us know that the, he resides right here, within our hearts.

Spirituality teaches us that God is all pervading, so treat all life as the incarnation of God. You just need to open your eyes to this fact, and all that you see is nothing but him. Spirituality opens our eyes to many facts, that God is not bound to one religion or place or country or even galaxy.

He is everything and everywhere. He has no differences or dualities and is beyond all this. Beyond name, form and everything.

Spirituality teaches us to love God and to make him our eternal companion. It teaches us not to limit him to just prayer hall or puja room. It teaches us to makes friends of our enemies, and to perform all our worldly duties in his remembrance.

It teaches us that he doesn’t want our riches and offerings; all that he needs is our love for him. So, do we need spirituality?
