What Is Spirituality
Spirituality is about spirit,
It seeks to see the soul
To set it free
To savour the bliss of salvation
Religion rooted in religious scriptures
Rules, regulations, rituals
Binds humans
Accentuates egoism
Souls belongs to another realm
It cannot be seen with eyes
It has different characteristics
Seated in heart, it is immortal,
Body binds in multifarious ways
Attachment, desires, miseries
When we realise we are soul we become calm
Nothing worldly can touch us, nothing bothers us
Seek the soul seated within
Birth will come and go
Use your mortal body
To seek the immortal
Experience the ecstasy of salvation
You don't belong here
Your only goal in life
Is to liberate soul trapped within body
All religious books talk about soul
All speak the same
For soul is unchanging
Read that part of scripture,
Set out to see your true nature
Living in earth for so long,
You have not even seen self
You are not the body
You don't die when some body organs fail
Or some body parts are not present
Only when soul leaves the body
You are proclaimed dead
What is this soul?
This soul is real you
It is a part of larger body of God
Once you glimpse it, you go
To the world of souls
Where eternal peace and bliss prevail
A bliss beyond imagination
Nothing worldly can come even a bit close to it
Ask self
Who am I?
Who is God?
Why am I suffering?
How can I be eternally happy?
How can I see myself?
How does God who created all look like?
Go beyond the mundane world
Of work and sleep, happiness and sadness
Look within
Euphoria is waiting to be unearthed
Seek and ye shall find

Matthew 7:7: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
Gita 2.24 : Individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. Soul is everlasting, all-pervading, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.
