Sadhguru has spoken about the concept of spirituality in a clear way. He says spirituality does not mean any particular practice or regime. It is a certain way of being.
It is like a garden in our house. If the plant is not given it’s required dose of soil, water and sunlight, it won’t cultivate and yield flowers. We have to do something about it, look after the plant, tend to it.
Similarly, if you cultivate your body, mind, emotions and energies to a certain level of maturity, then something else will blossom within you; this awakening is what is spirituality within us.
When our rationale is ignorant it questions everything when our rationale evolves , it sees everything in a completely different perspective.
Spirituality is an expansive concept of a belief in something beyond the self. It strives to answer questions about the meaning of life, how people are connected to each other, mysteries about the universe and truths regarding human existence.
Spirituality usually involves the belief in a higher form of intelligence or consciousness steering the universe. It exists to satisfy the deeper human eagerness for meaning, stability, harmony and truth.
Spirituality means different things to different people. For some, its primarily about a belief in God and enthusiastic participation in religion. Whereas for others, it’s about non-religious experiences that help them get in touch with their spiritual selves through reflection, spending time in nature, prayer and meditation.
