Abstract

Spirituality deals with spirit and is nothing but the development of our inner being for achieving success, fulfillment and peace in life. It the identity of our inner being, in contrast the religion is the outer being. Albert Einstein once said: Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. The former requires mere intelligence which can be corrupt, but to be a man of value takes character in the first place. The same is reflected what the famous wise men of the west William James, Carl Jung, and Victor Frankl saw long ago. Spiritual intensity can be guessed from personal life-patterns and the values he upholds. The values are based on truths both subjective and objective. Eastern scripture, Bhagvad Gita defines spirituality is the swabhav of everybody. It calls the whole field of spiritual practices as spiritual (adhyatma) i.e. which dwells in everybody. The aim of spiritual life is to upgrade oneself to go beyond this dual and fragmented world. Actually our entire life is a spiritual journey. The article is an attempt how human can improve life-style with it and the same is discussed with the following topics.
