How Spirituality Strengthens Humanity

Human life is considered a unique blessing, which lies in the achievement of awareness about self.

- C.L. Gulati

He who is not aware about self can neither have peace nor can he foster peaceful co-existence. As per natural phenomenon, man must link his soul with God and body with the physical world for sustenance. Formless God being invisible to the naked eye, the human mind wanders where ever the eye goes in the grandeur of mundane world. Lost in the will o’-the wisp, man does not develop love for God. Religion, like the white light of heavens breaks into many-coloured fragments by the prisms of men and loses its gravity. Instead of uniting, it becomes a major dividing force - interweaving a grotesque picture.

Buddhist philosophy of “Dependent Origination” — that all things arise in dependence of other things tell us that life is a mix of so many different ingredients and sources. We are all part of an intricate web of life mixed up in secular ways. Human body and soul within are an apt combination of complementing and supplementing each other. The exit of soul from body, causing death is painful. But more painful than that is the situation when body lives, with soul lying deadly neglected within. Soul cannot go to the True Master all alone or through any other living being for seeking divine knowledge. While soul (consciousness) keeps human body alive the human body takes the soul to its destination — the True Master for spiritual enlightenment and eventual salvation. The significance of spirituality strengthening human propriety can well be imagined.
