Spirituality

The meaning of spirituality has developed and expanded over time, and various connotations can be found alongside each other.Spiritual is the adjective form of the word spirit which comes from the Latin word for "breath," and means the thing that animates life. Spiritual can be used to talk about anything that goes beyond mere physical existence, from ghost spirits to religious feelings. As a noun, spiritual describes a religious song originating in the African-American culture of the American South.

Some may find that their spiritual life is intricately linked to their association with a church, temple, mosque, or synagogue. Others may pray or find comfort in a personal relationship with God or a higher power. Still others seek meaning through their connections to nature or art. Like your sense of purpose, your personal definition of spirituality may change throughout your life, adapting to your own experiences and relationships.

The path to spirituality starts with curiosity. It is possible only if one thinks about the existence of the world. There are so many things for which Science has no answers as of now. Spirituality is a science beyond science. In the initial stages of spiritual development, one may develop ideas that are contrary to the normal beliefs and religion, but with time the same person realizes that whatever exists in the world has a reason. So, he will start accepting the normal beliefs as well as the religion and when he reach a stage where he is able to fully connect the material existence and soul existence through his own thoughts then the person becomes truly spiritual and hence enlightened.
