Spirituality is not a
religion. Neither is it a chain of rituals to be performed. It is beyond
anything manmade. We can be practicing any religion but we are all spiritual.
Our intrinsic quality is to be a spirit.
Yet, people don't seem to
understand this. They talk of anything spiritual like it is a phenomenon from
another world.
Even if we teach the theory of
spirituality, there will be a lacuna, because spirituality is to be recognized
as a set of principles which have to be practiced and experienced. If you are
spiritual, you have to follow a path which will be fraught with uncertainties
and painful realizations. So, people don't go there at all. Understandable, I
guess, but ultimately, a deep loss.
