Significance of Spirituality
“Religion is trust is someone else’s experiences. Spirituality is having yummy experiences.” – Deepak Chopra (Author & Speaker).

Mixing spirituality as well as religion is an early practice. For some reason, it’s often easier to accept things if they come together with the force of religion. Unfortunately, comparing spirituality and religion, is like comparing cheese and chalk! If you read the above mentioned quote carefully, dịch vụ nấu cơm cúng (read the article) you are going to see precisely what I mean. As stated above, religion is trust in another person’s experiences. No individual religion in the planet, has its basis on experiences which are universal. They were all founded on the experiences of someone, who lived centuries or maybe millennia ago! When no one contested the claims, it was gradually made into a law last but not least religion came into this world.
Spirituality on the other hand, is purely individual experience based. No two people will be the same and neither are the experiences of theirs. Hence spirituality can mean things that are different to different people.
Till date, there’s no fixed definition of spirituality. although the one thing is certain. Spirituality comes from inside. It cannot be forced, explained nor manipulated.
“Spirituality doesn’t mean any specific practice. It’s a specific method of being. To get there, there are many things to do. This is like a garden in the house of yours. If the soil, sunlight or perhaps stem of a vegetable is in a specific way, it will not yield flowers, you have to do something. You have to pay attention to those things. And so if you cultivate your body, mind, emotions and energies to a specific level of maturity, another thing blossoms inside you – that’s what spirituality is. When the reason of yours is immature, it doubts everything. When your rationale matures, it perceives everything in a completely different light.”
As quoted by Sadhguru, spirituality cannot be practiced. It’s an adventure you go through. Spirituality is a trip, not really a location. With every knowledge you grow and become an even better version of yourself. Spirituality can be knowledge and knowledge is power. When harnessed appropriately, spirituality is usually a strong force. It is able to take us from our ordinary existence to an extraordinary living.
