How important is spirituality in your life?
So, coming to the topic how important is spirituality in your life? Well in that case I would like to say that spirituality has different meanings for every other person. Some people feel it’s your connection with your religious beliefs, your cultural practices and beliefs, understanding your connection with your own self, one’s belief in divine power etc. It can be very person specific as in how one sees or relates to spirituality. Spirituality can also mean to seek out or search for personal growth, religious experience, belief in a supernatural realm or afterlife, or to make sense of one’s own “inner dimension”.
For me spirituality is my connect with myself, my self-awareness, understanding my conscious and subconscious self. I do this by diving deep inside myself and understanding what makes me happy and calm. I do believe in an ultimate power that I seek help from when in times of trouble, which has helped me build my can-do attitude. Spirituality is a sense of knowing yourself from within so well that in turn you get to know your relationships well and you connect with others even better. Also, spirituality helps us understand the importance of contentment.
If you are happy with yourself, happy with the people you have in your life, feel content with whatever you have (materialistic needs) then you can feel calmness in yourself. This calmness is also a form of spirituality, cause when you are calm your soul is happy and allows the mind and body to connect. This doesn’t mean you stop desiring from life however, you should not become a slave to your desires but be their masters so that you can fulfill them when its time.
I find spirituality in my realistic attitude which helps me stay grounded and prioritize my needs to my desires. Needs usually are the things that are more realistic like my current need is to get my child admitted to a good college. Desire would be more materialistic like I desire to go on a holiday. But here if I am a slave to my desire I will give in to my desire than fulfilling my need, which will later make me feel guilty. And guilt is a negative feeling which will not help me keep calm and thus not connect to my inner self. So, learning your needs and your desires is also a way of self-awareness which in turn leads us to spirituality. The more self-aware you are the more you have balance in your life and the more you will feel spiritually connected with your own self. Once you learn to connect with your own self its only then can you connect to the universe or to a supreme power you believe in.
So, if you are spiritually connected to your own self, you know yourself well enough to know others well too.
So, what does spirituality mean to you? Please share your thoughts and insights would love to know more.
