What is spirituality?


Spirituality is not religiousness, not piety and not religion!

Spirituality is the highest aspects of the inner world, which are manifested in humanity, cordiality, kindness, sincerity, warmth, openness to other people. Spirituality is based on the breadth of views, erudition, culture, general development of the individual. Loss of spirituality is equivalent to the loss of humanity.

A prolonged crisis of spirituality in an individual leads to its degradation. Spirituality is incompatible with callousness, selfishness, orientation to material benefits. Spirituality can be conscious, meaningful as a manifestation of intelligence. It may be partially unconscious – they say about such a person: cordial, kind, sincere by nature.

Spirituality is a specific property of a person’s life activity, expressed in a careful attitude towards himself and the surrounding world, forming a set of intangible values ​​that are resistant to devaluation, this state of the

First of all, carry out the truth in your personal life. ..

“Hell and heaven are in heaven,” the bigots affirm. I, having looked into myself, became convinced of lies: Hell and heaven are not circles in the palace of the universe, Hell and heaven are two halves of the soul.
