SUMMARY CHAPTER 2
What is Spirituality?
• Spirituality is known to be all about the study of the Spirit, the Soul or the Atman.
• Just as the ocean is the cause and a wave is the effect, similarly, Spirit is the cause and we are the mere effects. It is not that the Spirit exists because of us, but rather we exist because of the Spirit.
• It may seem that we are a human body and a mind that has a Spirit. In reality, we are a Spirit that has a human body and a mind.
• When we started our journey as a fertilized human cell or a zygote, we had no body. We were just energy, the Spirit or the Soul and later developed a body around it.
• Science has discovered that while we may seem to be a mass of flesh, each cell of the human body is broken up into subatomic particles, and even these tiny parts are not matter but energy.
• This energy is Divine Energy that flows in each cell of our body, a true miracle created by the Creator.
• Let us realize that we are not what we seem to be. We are embodied Souls. This is called Realization by Inference.
• To become Spiritual, one does not have to be highly religious. Spirituality is about questioning our belief system and realization of the Truth. It is about opening our ‘real eyes’ and being passionate about God and Liberation.
