What Is Spirituality?

Many times, I am asked, what is spirituality..

- Yogesh Chabria

Does it mean to leave everything and go and live in the Himalayas? Or does it mean to give up material wealth and live in poverty? Do I need to practise meditation all the time? Isn’t spirituality only something for the old?

Questions are beautiful because they let us know what we are truly longing for. Till we don’t ask questions, how can we expect to get answers?

But to truly understand spirituality, you need to stop asking questions and open yourself up to experiencing it.

You can ask several questions about how it feels to swim or how does the ocean breeze feel, or how does it feel to listen to the chirping of birds in the fresh mountain air or how does it feel to love someone passionately. But the only way you can understand it, is to stop asking questions and go ahead and experience it.

Go ahead, and swim, go ahead and visit the ocean and feel the breeze, go ahead and climb mountains and experience the fresh air and the chirping of birds, go ahead and love passionately.

You can only understand it, when you experience it. And each person’s experience is truly unique. No two people will experience the same thing in the same way.

It’s the same with spirituality – no two people will have the same experience. Each person will have a truly unique and different experience.

For me spirituality is very simple. It means leading a life where I give my best to everything I do. It means enjoying everything that has been created by the Universal force. It means living without fear or guilt and simply accepting myself as a part of this magnificent Universe. It means accepting I deserve the best, I deserve, health, love, happiness, wealth, peace and bliss.
