Spirituality and Religious

I had not been able to write for some time now and when I got some time I came back and was thinking of what to write about…

Spirituality and Religious thoughts were some I had been thinking of as that is something all of us would want to associate…

Am I spiritual or am I religious??? Ask yourself and when I do I would be able to say I am spiritual but not religious.

What is spirituality? Some definitions

• Consisting of spirit; not material; incorporeal; as, a spiritual substance or being. "It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
• Of or pertaining to the intellectual and higher endowments of the mind; mental; intellectual.
• Not lay or temporal; relating to sacred things; ecclesiastical; as, the spiritual functions of the clergy; lords spiritual and temporal; a spiritual corporation.

What is religious? Some definitions

• A member of a religious order who is bound by vows of poverty and chastity and obedience
• A person bound by monastic vows, or sequestered from secular concern, and devoted to a life of piety

However we still see a division some place or the other on religion. Some want to convert and enforce there religion on others, some want to eliminate others.

The blame game is there as well. We have some come in and talk about how MNC’s, Call centers and BPO’s have affected the youth and talk about the way the roots of religion not been respected. People have been beaten up… riots have taken place.

So when we read this, ask yourself and get to know what you are connecting to if you are religious know the reasons for what the methods were adapted.

For now will sign off but I am already thinking of the next topic… so hope to write back soon

bye
