Spirituality is man’s relation to soul or spirit, nothing else.






Spirituality is man’s relation to soul or spirit, nothing else. It is not about religion, it is not dogma. The soul is one divine force pervading all the three states and a direct relation to that soul is what it is all about, beyond any duality. 


Things that are impossible for man are possible with soul. There is no doubt about it. Moreover, even though one never sees the soul, he knows it always is with him. 


Once the quest starts, one begins to understand that there are things beyond the physical life, and he begins to exploring spiritual realms. 


People think themselves, over time; by reading countless books on all religions and philosophies of the world, they will acquire self-knowledge.  However, it is not so ‘A wise person should glean knowledge from inquiry and reasoning on the base of the soul as self and assimilate it. Just like honey bee collects nectar from all flowers, big or small’. Seeker of truth must think that he is that bee. 


There is no such thing as permanent happiness in the experience of duality [waking or dream]. Joy and sorrow are part of the illusion and are so intertwined.
