What is Spirituality?
Definition of spirituality was engraved in our minds, by our society even before we questioned it. Most of our Beliefs revolve around god, worshipping in a religion, following saints or devoting ourselves to follow society’s shared beliefs.
In Total Freedom, J Krishnamurti explained it beautifully.
Those who really desire to understand, who are looking to find that which is eternal, without beginning and without an end, will walk together with a greater intensity, will be a danger to everything that is unessential, to unrealities, to shadows. And they will concentrate, they will become the flame, because they understand. -
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Reflecting on above lines brought me new insights, most of it is related to our internal state than external.
- Spirituality is understanding self.
- Spirituality is seeking in self.
- Spirituality is seeking truth.
- Spirituality is awareness.
- Spirituality is seeking nothing.
- Spirituality is seeing reality.
