Religion & Spirituality

[Guest guest]

Spirituality can bring the lasting happiness or

contentment that each of us seeks through anything we

do. This is because spiritual practice is the tool to

experience our divine nature (soul) or God - the only

source of lasting Bliss. Everything else in this

world, such as external objects, relationships,

career, wealth, etc. are temporary in nature and

hence, give fleeting happiness and unhappiness. In

fact science of Spirituality states that the very

reason we are born is to experience our true Blissful

nature by completing our Destiny and making spiritual

progress through spiritual practice!

 

The following further explains why Spirituality is

important and should be practiced by one and all:

 

80% of our problems, especially major ones like grave

illness, failure in marriage or career, etc., are due

to factors like destiny, negative energies, etc.

Practicing Spirituality alone can reduce these

problems, giving us a better quality of life.

 

As one studies and practices Spirituality one

progresses spiritually and merges with the Omniscient

God principle. Thus, Spirituality alone can bestow the

knowledge or truth behind everything.

 

Even at the level of society, one can see the

tremendous decline in spiritual and moral purity due

to the decline in spiritual practice. The rampant

unrighteousness, corruption, terrorism, immorality,

etc., can only be eliminated if the people purify

their attitudes by undertaking the spiritual path.

 

Below is a glimpse of the benefits of Spirituality in

day to day life:-

 

Since spiritual practice works at the subtle, attitude

level, it alone brings lasting reduction in

undesirable attitudes or personality defects like

anger, envy, intolerance, etc., gradually improving

our day to day interactions.

 

By reducing unnecessary thinking or activity of the

mind, Spirituality increases concentration, improving

performance in any activity.

 

It has therapeutic benefits in mental illnesses,

especially in conditions like obsessive-compulsive

disorders.

 

It also helps develop a philosophical attitude and

inner strength, that help one calmly face even dire or

uncontrollable circumstances like accidents or

incurable disease, aging, death, etc., in our life or

that of our loved ones.

 

It helps develop a positive attitude, increasing our

joy in life.

 

The importance of Spirituality for our well being at

all levels - physical, psychological as well as

spiritual - cannot be emphasized enough. However,

Spirituality is a science of experience, that is, its

benefits have to be experienced by doing actual

spiritual practice daily.
