SPIRITUALITY VERSUS RELIGION

Spirituality and religion which came first?  What is religion? as defined by the dictionary and as defined by history and current affairs. Once we know these answers we will become friends with every concepts. 

Let me paint this simple picture: 

Spirituality is like the Tree of Life. 

Spirituality is the trunk while the branches are the various religions, the leaves are the many souls attached to the various religions the root of the tree goes deep into the earth taking nourishment from below, also extends as high as it can to receive Light from above, navigate with grace whatever obstacle that stand on it's way. Don't forget that the roots also have branches, so do many so called spiritual path have various interpretation also misconceptions which are hidden, but only sensed by those attached to the trunk (spirituality) The branches may fall, bend or chopped off by man but the tree (spirituality) still stands. 

Religion evolved from spirituality, Religions are the various forms of expressions of spirituality, different from race to race and from culture to culture. The various religions are only paths away from or paths to spirituality depending on the inclination of the Person. Always remember this: The person! Religion is just a step in the ladder and not the ladder itself. 

Religion need not stir unrest in any one who is truly spiritual but should awaken compassion for those leaves (souls) that choose to attach themselves without taking full advantage of the useful step it offers to their spiritual evolution. It is the responsibility of all spirits to strive for the ideal, to seek the truth in all things (including religion) but with the aim of evolving to a higher level of consciousness. 

Away with the spiritual arrogance!  Those of us who claim to be spiritual are also on our own self made paths, our very own "unnamed religions" We are not there yet! When we truly become spirit beings, we will understand what it means to have human experiences and be deeply humbled, that kind of humility that bends the soul so low to touch the core of mother nature to draw empathy from it and spurs the spirit upwards to the Light uplifting all that comes in contact with it. It's either we become another branch attached to the trunk or a whole new tree that sprouts from the roots  independent, strong, feeding all souls with spiritual food! 

Until then when we look at those still struggling or destroying  themselves, we should see ourselves in them and of to  become arrogant and irritated, be kind & helpful where we find a receptive soil for it.
