So, what is spirituality?
Here I go :), well, my definition of spirituality is not sanyas or anything which shift you from you responsibilities or your dreams. Its like fulfilling all your responsibilities and dreams and still be very happy. Its sound controversial but it is not. Spirituality is actually the state of mind, where one has proud of his/her deeds, has no regret of whatever he did. Always have smile on face and his/her mind rest in a peace. Well, now a days if person is happy and satisfied then people start wondering if he/she has no dream, he/she dont want to move forward in life. Lot of earning and having lot of associated tension becomes the definition of success. But is this right ? Here by being spiritual i meant to say that whatever person do may be during his/her course of action (job etc), he should always have respect for himself/herself. It will only come if he/she knew that he/she has created lot of value during that course of action. Otherwise person won't feel good, even after working very hard, taking so many tensions.
Further, I said spirituality is not religion but i think vice-versa should be true. Spirituality does not have extremism, while religion may have. Although there is lot of common things like both focus on being a better human being. But extremism in religion some time neglects this part. Anyway as I said I believe "Person need not to be religious to be a spiritual but I must say person should be spiritual to be religious." If you mix both religion and spirituality, the wonderful result will came out.
As I said earlier (one more back reference to my earlier post), religion is like hired wired (physical circuit), it anyway always remains with the person, but if spirituality gets added to it (like application software) you can really get huge advantage of under lying hardware (religion in this case).
So what the person should do to become spiritual. Well, I think specially person need not to do anything expect trying to develop some good habits, Soon these habit will become part of person's personality. Then happiness will become a integral part of person’s nature and quality of life automatically get improved. Isn’t simple? Wish all of you “Good Luck”.......

Spirituality (Part 1)
Aaaa haaa, thnx praveen for suggesting such a nice topic to put thoughts on. Some where i have read that all the knowladge of this entire universe converse on the point called philosophy, It is a reason why Phd is called Doctrate in philosophy. Even Phd in mathematics is called Doctrate of philosophy in mathematics. Aaaa haaaaa ...... and destination of pholosophy is the starting point of spiritual world. Full of calm and peace. Well, here i would say that do not confuse between spirituality and religion. Both are diff. things, religion is something which is by birth (hard wired) and spirituality is totally a person choice (like software application). It has a same diff as between relatives and friend.
So now question arise what is spirituality and what role it plays in human life. Well, i think spirituality is a "way of life". How you move forward in life taking care of all your responsiblity. It is not sanyas, its a way person leads better life. In my opinion it improves the quality of life. So spiritual growth of a person is as important as career growth and/or financial growth.
Satisfaction, feeling of no regret, sense of self pride, peace of mind and calmness are few of the characteristics of spiritual man. Once these characteristics become habit in peoples life, the quality of life gets automatically improved. Person need not to be religious to be a spiritual but i must say person should be spiritual to be religious.
........ rest for next post.
