Spirituality V/S Religion.



Spirituality and Religion.

“ Have you ever seen human being without soul?”

You may say that what kind of question is this ? Mostly all say that everybody has the soul. But the question is who feel it ? because no one can see it. In our Indian culture , there are so many religions and principles to live life. Each has own religion and principles to follow in life.

All people  mostly follow their religions rather than moral duty whatever they follow with rigidness. But.. very few people know and think about Spirituality. Because ………

“ Sometimes religion harms us but Spirituality never….”

According to me…. “ Spirituality is always better than religion.”

Religion is the external aspect and just thing to  show off where as Spirituality is the internal aspect of the soul  and direct connect with the purity of heart. Spirituality is our own  experience of enlightenment. I think it is the matter of feeling which provide everything  within us. You get totally different views, from every one and then even one can’t explain in words what exactly it!

No doubt religious is the base but sometimes it bothers us and people feel like … Prison. It doesn’t provide enough space or freedom to live life .  we can’t choose our own religion because from the birth we have a label of particular cast and religion.

I am not against any religion but  I think spirituality is more important than the any religion because religions have different ways, and views and ideas  and so many other things. Where as Spirituality is the same perception  into Humanity. Religion divide us but Spirituality connect us to the world.

 What is the purpose to go temple and not believe in humanity?”

Religion generate fear into mind of human beings with help  of name – God. And mostly  forcefully , and because of fear about sin and all those thing they believe and follow the religion. But it is also possible that they are not believe in “ Karma “ whether it is good or bad ..

There  is the vast differences between to be heard  and to be experienced. Spirituality gives too much rather than religion. Please , do not try to connect Spirituality with religion because both flow into different direction. It is possible that, you are atheist  and then even you are Spiritual. And I think it is better to be spiritual rather than religion.

 Spirituality provides us inner sight to see beautiful world with eyes of our mind. It is not necessary and compulsory that one has to know about Vedas , Upanishdas, Purans, Vedang, and all but to be spiritual it is necessary to have purity of heart. At any place, anywhere one can stand as Spiritual and think about “ Parbrhma and Parmatma” because both are within us no need to find at any place like… temples 

Religion may not provide the real happiness of life but I can surely say that Spirituality gives the real Truth and great happiness of life. You can enjoy the nature – tress , rivers, mountains, oceans , birds and other elements  from  the heart , that time you feel that just you do the worship of God…   Your hearts and mind feel  inner happiness and gentle enjoyment then exactly you are going right path and doing right things.
 Our Indian culture is known as “ Vedas Sanskruti.” Vedas means…..

  To expand the knowledge.”   

I think .. Strength, Bhakti, Belief, Trust, Shradhdha, Astha – these all words are depends on our “ Mind.”  Mind direct connect with spirituality.  Religion makes people narrow minded and put him / her into particular box. Where as spirituality has no limit. Sky is the limit there…………..

  I think there is also another meaning of spirituality….

 “To put your strength together.”

It is possible that the saint or sage who live in forest or far way from the city life , he can manage the peace of mind because there is no any elements around him which can do disturb .but the real spiritual being or real saint live into regular life/ domestic life and then even he can manage the peace of mind.     
         
According to me, who has the real experience of Spirituality , he never argues with anyone just gives his/her opinion and leave the things with stability. He never hurts from the external  behavior of others. He is happy with  own company- himself/herself. 

Each day has something new and life goes on changing everyday and accept all easily. There is no any kind of bondage for him/her and even no fear of death…

 Human being becomes too much polite , kind and generous and get respect from the heart. Spirituality is not explain into words. Once you got the experience of spirituality in past, it is definitely different in present and surely say that it will different in future , also.

 Finally, if you want to connect with people and truly God , you have to become Spiritual rather than Religious.

“ Spirituality is beyond the religious.”

માધવ ક્યાંય નથી !

માધવ ક્યાંય નથી .......                                  -    હરિન્દ્ર દવે          ‘Madhav  Kyay nathi’  is written by very renowned writer Harindra Dave. The title of the novel – itself suggest something. I think there are two aspect of the title. First , he is not at any particular place means that he is omniscient . And second meaning is that he is no where!               The plot of the novel also deals with this idea and gradually reveals the whole events of Krishna’s life. The story  of the novel reveals not only Krishna’s journey from his birth but also with him we find the journey of Naradmuni who wants to meet Krishna but unfortunately he can’t.                 The novel based on only Naradmuni’s desire or extreme eagerness to meet Krishn...
