Definition of Spirituality
(meaning define spirituality - religion spirituality)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Spirituality is traveling the path of God. At the time of the big bang... all souls' atmans got separated and in the cosmic sojourn gathered impurities on the way. To cleanse itself of the dross contained within... these souls' atmans manifest a cycle of 8.4 million manifestations to regain their pure original pristine form.

It is spirituality that gives us this true essence of life. How as a human being can one gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Spirituality is finally reaching the kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism) in our lifetime.

Mahavira did that... so do Gautama Buddha. Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed also followed the same route. All these man gods in their lifetime reached the kingdom of God... a point of no return!

Traveling the spiritual path we come to know that every human being has to travel the path taken by Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed. As emphatically stated by Mahavira... every human being has the potential of becoming a Mahavira. Contrary to what is taught and preached in Christianity... spirituality tells us that becoming a Jesus Christ in lifetime is the goal of every human being.

Right from the first manifestation to the last... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the ultimate goal of our soul atman is reaching the kingdom of God. It is only then it gets liberated from the cycle of birth and death forever. Human being is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle. Only as a human being can one gain enlightenment and salvation.

Bhagavad Gita... the doctrine by Lord Krishna in Mahabharata in Hinduism gives all that is required on the spiritual path. The knower of Bhagavad Gita finally becomes the knower of all. Assimilating the pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita... one finally crosses the ocean of Samsara (the worldly life).

Spirituality is not a small concept. God Almighty desired reaching the stage of enlightenment and salvation in a total life span of 96.4 million earthly years. Reaching the end goal of life is tough but not unachievable. If Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed did it... so can all human beings!

How tough is the journey can be fathomed from the fact that in the last about 150 years only two persons gained enlightenment amongst 6500 million people living on Mother Earth. They were Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana.
