What does it really mean to be spiritual?
Being a spiritual person means that you are a person who sees it as her or his highest priority to love yourself and others. A spiritual person loves all people, animals and our planet. A spiritual person is a kind person.
You can pray everyday and still not love others. You can meditate and practice yoga and still be judgmental towards yourself and others, not knowing what it means to love.
Many people who aren’t religious, who don’t meditate or practice yoga are very spiritual. These people are always prepared to help others. Their thoughts are positive and kind of nature, not negative and judgmental.
Many religious people aren’t friendly or kind at all. We all now religious people who are very judgmental towards other people and ideas.
Can you be spiritual and religious? Ofcourse! But only when your religion comes from your heart. Be open to other people’s opinions and beliefs and respect them. There is not one religion which is ‘the right one’, because that would mean that the others are wrong. All religions are equal and basically spread the same message: ‘Treat others like you want them to treat you’.
If you want to be a spiritual person let kindness be your guide. Be willing to help others and love yourself, others, animals and our wunderful planet.
