A spiritually fulfilling life is based on a foundation of four pillars:
• Daily practice of meditation/yoga
• Regular spiritual study
• Spiritual relationships and fulfilling responsibilities
• The service of humanity.

1.Daily Meditation Practice
2.Regular Spiritual Study
3.Spiritual Relationships & Responsibilities
4.Spiritual Service

1.Daily Meditation Practice

Meditation

Daily meditation/yoga provides the means to explore, discover and reconnect with one’s self and with God. Meditation is a process of quieting one's mind, stilling body and letting go of the distractions of the world. In order to do so, time, practice and patience are essential. Meditation opens the person up to a whole universe of change and possibility that will simplify and satisfy. To begin, the beginner need only to want to learn how and to have a sincere desire to move beyond the mind, into a reality that will uplift and encourage.

2.Regular Spiritual Study

Spirituality

Regular, daily spiritual study provides the right quality food for mind and intellect, the two key faculties of the soul.Spirituality can be, and should be, a large part of the religious experience. Spirituality can also refer to one's self exploration, in forms of meditation, prayer and contemplation. These practices allow for a person to become in tune with the essence of their being. Spirituality could also be a way of looking out into nature or the world and feeling a connection nature or an individual's metaphorical understanding of the universe.

3.Spiritual Relationships & Responsibilities

Through the experience of soul-consciousness others are recognized as spiritual beings and a feeling of brotherhood grows. By transcending the divisions of colour, sex and religion, relationships become more smooth and rewarding. The exchange of respect and spiritual love becomes the basis of interaction. The decision to deal with others’ good qualities means there is no longer the give and take of sorrow, rather an emphasis on acceptance and tolerance.

Spirituality is not an escape from life’s responsibilities. You have a responsibility to your immediate relationships-family, colleagues and friends and it is in those relationships that your ability to apply what you are learning spiritually will also be tested and strengthened.

4.Spiritual Service

Spiritual service

Finding an appropriate way to use your growing spiritual power and understanding for the benefit of others in the wider community is also a method of sustaining your personal growth. Spiritual service occurs on many levels, including spreading peaceful vibrations into the atmosphere and helping others develop awareness of their own spiritual qualities through good wishes and pure feelings.

Thanks for a wonderful, uplifting article, Spicy. We have everything given, both natural and spiritual resources, to rise to higher realms of existence. If only we took few moments to ponder and reflect! Sadly, many are carried away by outward physical differences, and even use religion and handed down beliefs to divide and sow discord. It is time to take positive steps - siva
