The relationship between Religion and Spirituality

What is Spirituality ?

Spirituality is a concept with many possibilities and perspectives. It generally includes a sense of link to a thing larger than what are and we can comprehend. It mostly require a need of searching for life's actual meaning. It is a therfore a global human belief that it is something that touches us all. Different people can describe a spiritual experience as sacred or transcendent or a deep sense of awareness and enlightenemt.

On the other hand, some of us find that spiritual life is sopphisticatedly linked to t our association with a religious place of worship or jathebandi. Some others may pray to find comfort in a personal relationship with God or a higher power. Most of us seek meaning through our connections to nature and existance around us. Similar to our sense of aim in life, our personal approach of spirituality may or may not change throughout our life, adapting to our own experiences and relationships.

Spiritual Queries

For many, spirituality is a connection to a curosity about life and identity, that arise some questions such as:

  1. Am I really a good person and doing it right?
  2. What is the reason and solution to my suffering?
  3. How am I connected to the world surroinding me?
  4. Do all the things that are happening, do happen for some reason?
  5. What are the ways to live my life in Best Possible Way?
  6. How can I step higher in my spiritual journey?

Relationship between religion and spirituality

Spirituality may incorporate elements of religion,  that is again a broader concept. Spirituality & Religion are two separate issues. But are they are not entirely distinct from each another. This replationship can be illustrated using a diagram below as overlapping circles:

spirituality and emotional wellbieng
  • In spirituality, the questions are: where do I personally find meaning, connection, and value?
  • In religion, the questions are: what is true and right?

Where the circles overlap is the individual experience, which affects the way you think, feel, and behave.

 

Emotional health and Spirituality

You can notice that many practices that advise for cultivating spirituality are essentially similar to what is recommended for better Emotional Health. That is dur to the connection between the spirituality and emotional wellbeing affect each another and overlap, as do all aspects of wellbeing.

  1. Spirituality is about seeking a meaningful connection with something bigger than yourself, which can result in healthy emotions, like peace, contentment, gratitude, awe, and acceptance.
  2. Emotional health is about developing a peacful and positive state of mind, that can widen your perspective to acknowledge and incorporate a connection to something beyond yourself.

Thus, emotions and spirituality are unique but rekated and deeply integrated with one another.

You dont try to know precisely what is happening, or where exactly it will go. What actually you need to know are the challenges  and possibilities available in present moment, and to embrace them with  hope, courage and faith.

Sangats' Feedback

"Bhai Ranjit Singh is a mahapursh or yug-parvartak in the real sense of the term"
My request to Bhai Ranjit Singh Ji to dissuade Sikhs from indulging in ever increasing practice of people putting a lot of money in the hands of the granthi offering ardas to make a special ardas for them for this purpose or that as if the granthi is the commission agent of God. The granthis are doubling /trebling these hefty sums of ill-gotten money by lending it on mind-boggling rates of interest to the very people who gave it to him as ardas! The foolish prople still cannot understand the game and this vicious circle goes on and on. If this malpractice is not checked the day is not far away when all the lands of the villagers will be purchased by such greedy granthis and all the farmers will be forced to act as granthis' farm laborers. Equally deplorable is the bhedchal of each visitor to offer a ten rupee note to any tom, dick or harry performing kirtan (the offering is made even before he even starts the kirtan and even after he has stopped it!!) The list of such foolish mockeries is too long to be listed in one email. Bhai Ranjit Singh Ji doing the most wonderful service to Sikhism (humanism actually) by exposing such mockeries in boldest possible manner. I bow in reverence to his greatness. He is a mahapursh (rather yug-parvartak) in the real sense of the term. May God bless him with a long life so that he may clean the mud of ignorance and superstitions in which Sikhism has drowned neckdeep. Yours sincerely Balvinder Singh
