Spirituality: God-Oriented Science

What is spirituality? Being spiritual means living a God-oriented life. The spiritually inclined elevate themselves in their thinking and begin to live on a higher divine plan— they remain undisturbed in the face of provocation, their mental balance is not upset by unpleasant experiences, and the trying behaviour of someone else does not arouse any feelings of anger in them. Living strictly by their principles, the mental level of spiritual people becomes so high that stones cast by others cannot reach them. In spirituality, they find such sublimity that all else pales into insignificance. Spirituality is such a great virtue that the seeker after divine bliss need not quest any further. How does one attain spirituality? There are two significant schools of spirituality—one based on meditation and the other on contemplation. The former relates to feelings ascribed to the ‘heart’, and the latter relates to the mind. We are intellectual beings. We have been given the ability to think and reason, our most outstanding faculty. The possession of this faculty and our independent thinking distinguishes us from all other creatures. Authentic spirituality is that which is achieved by our minds. This is called contemplative spirituality. Any form of spirituality attained at a lesser level is not true spirituality.
