Spirituality Meaning – What Is Spirituality
Spirituality Meaning – What Is Spirituality – Spirituality is the science of spirit. Spirit is a non-physical part of a living being which is the seat of the ego, emotions or character, etc.
Characteristics of spirit are as below-
- Spirits are beyond the five senses
- Spirits can be seen by the person who is under the influence of the spirit or by the person who has six sense
- Common people cannot see a spirit due to the limitation of physical consciousness
- Spirit can be good and bad or we can say positive spirit and negative spirit
- Positive spirit supports nature and people while negative spirit harms nature and people
- Spirits which have lower consciousness level are governed by their unfulfilled desires while spirits that have a higher level of consciousness support nature and people both
Therefore, spirit means a subtle entity that can’t be seen with the physical eyes. Subtle entities can be seen via third eyes only.
Therefore, Science that can study the subtle phenomenon and subtle form of a living being is spirituality.
Also, the Science that can study everything in the form of energy is spirituality. Becuase in its subtle form the whole universe is energy including the following-
- Living organism
- Divine energies
- Cosmic energy, nature or GOD
- Ghosts
- Negative and positive energies, etc.
Spirituality study the past, present, and future of all subtle entities or living being whether the living being is a human being or animal or bird, etc.
In fact, past present, and future all are associated with the physical being or with the physical body. Whether the physical body is of a human being or a bird or an animal.
Spirit has no past, present, and future. Spirit is constant energy enveloped in its EGO or “I” energy. Once, this EGO dissolves, the spirit body vanished forever and liberate. EGO is the seed for each and every being, the root cause of new life again and again infinitely.
Spirituality is the science of all the sciences. Spirituality is the way to understand the puzzle of life and death. Spirituality is the way to come close to the almighty God.
What are subtle entities?
A living being whether human or animals all are composed of two kinds of bodies –
Subtle body
Subtle body composed of your Ego. Ego is a flux of energy. These energies include the following types of energies-
- Your experiences,
- Your dreams and desires
- Your attachments with people
- Your attachments with your beloved
- Your choices
- Aggression
- Feeling of revenge, love, hate, etc.
Collectively, all these energies make your EGO or your I.
The subtle body must have an EGO or “I” to survive otherwise it dies. The death of EGO is called Liberation or MOKSHA.
Physical body
The physical body is made up of food. It needs food to survive. Without food, it dies.
Similarly, there are two kinds of death-
- Death of the physical body
- Death of the subtle body
Death of the physical body
When any living being dies it is physical death. In this death, the only physical body dies and the subtle body which made up of EGO remains as it is and after death, it searches another physical body to fulfill its EGO, to fulfill its dreams and desires.
These dreams and desires are all related to love, hate aggression, drinking, eating, and enjoyments of senses. This cycle is infinite no end except the liberation.
Death of the subtle body
There is one more death, that is the death of EGO, death of dreams, death of desires, death of all kinds of love, hate, attachments, etc.
Death of a subtle body is complete death and is called liberation. After the death of EGO, the living being completely becomes one to supreme energy.
What is the supreme energy?
Supreme energy is this whole universe hence, called Brahmand in Sanskrit.
Supreme energy is absolute consciousness that makes everything conscious. It makes your subtle body-conscious. It makes your EGO conscious in order to survive one life after another life until liberation.
What is the subtle world?
The subtle world is the spirit world where all the spirits live and wait to get a new physical body again and again in order to fulfill desires.
The subtle world is comparatively more permanent than the physical world. But the subtle world is also not completely permanent.
The permanent is only supreme energy which makes the subtle world live and also the physical world live.
What is spirituality?
The science that can study the subtle world where spirits live is spirituality. The sciences that can make you understand about the spirits, about the spirit world, about the facts after the physical death is spirituality.
