How important is spirituality in your life?

View all responses

It is very important! Some things in life defy explanation. Beyond that, the creation of the universe and its mysteries remain incomprehensible without the lens of spirituality.

When discussing spirituality, it’s only natural for me to quote the Gita:

मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु। मामेवैष्यसि युक्त्वैवमात्मानं मत्परायणः।।

This translates to: “Constantly think of the Lord with pure thoughts, dedicate all your actions to Him, worship him, and you will attain the highest spiritual realization.”

मय्येव मन आधत्स्व मयि बुद्धिं निवेशय। निवसिष्यसि मय्येव अत ऊर्ध्वं न संशयः।।

This translates to: “Focusing your mind and intellect on the divine, you will attain the highest spiritual state, a profound connection with the divine that transcends human understanding.”

(Note these are not the exact translation of the verses )

There are so many other gems that I can quote, but let me stop with these two.
