Developing Spirituality

The spirit can be defined as the non-physical part of a person that is the seat of emotion and character. It is this spirit that is present in each of us and acts as a guiding light within. Spiritualism is a rational way to realize this very unseen, immaterial spirit. As the sunflower turns its face to the light of sun ,spiritualism turns the face of humanity to truth.Spiritualism connects one to divinity and touch of divinity will lead to sanctity and what is pure is the always right. Even a slight inclination towards spiritualism refrains one from indulgence in malified thoughts or actions. Most of us believe in the existence of a super power who is directing everything in the universe and those who do not believe in the unseen can certainly cannot deny the gushing water of the stream, the breeze that at the mountain top and every new born leaf. If they do not believe in a super power outside they have to believe in the power within. Our soul is a part of that great source of ultimate energy who is the master of the universe. Our society would not have so many anti-social elements that pose threat to mankind and life if only they had a tinge of spirituality in them. If one is entrained to be spiritually rich from the very beginning then he can realize his immense potential and can channelize the same for the betterment of society. This training can be begun in school in the form of yoga classes, daily meditation even for ten minutes or between periods. Each school must small prayer hall and students should be encouraged to read their scriptures so that they remain in touch with divinity. Schools should be actual temples where the ambience is pure and the same promotes eternal growth. To conquer the world it is inevitable to conquer the mind within and this cannot be done in a day , it requires hard and constant practice. Development of spiritualism will lead to self-actualization which in turn will make one empowered.

spirituality is the only remedy to most of our present-day problems. Be it personal, social or national all kinds of problems will fiond solutuion in spiritualism.our youngsters also understan it to some extent but thing is that they somehow fail to give time to develop spirituality in them.it is the moral duty of schools and society on large to inspire young minds to be inclined towards spirituality.There can be no better place other than school for a good start.

spirituality is the only path that will lead to our ultimate goal. spirituality does not mean to clad oneself in plain dress ,live in isolation and sit in temple or mosque all through the day. Development of spirituality means having a control over one's senses , sacrificing the material greeed and malice. a spiritually enriched person can never act irresponsibly.hence I firmly believe that spiritualism is the instrument to fight all existing ills.
