Spiritual Wisdom
The Human Spirit
We are
now living in a secular society, where science is the dominant religion. As a
result, nowadays, many people do not believe in the existence of God. However,
despite the absence of God in their lives, spirituality
may still be present in the hearts of many. The explanation is that they may
still believe they have a soul, which is essentially an unfathomable spirit providing the mind of an individual with spiritual direction,
guidance, and understanding—most importantly, it may give that individual
happiness.
For
those who believe in God, the soul is the connection
of man to God. This inexplicable connection is a line of spiritual
communication in the form of prayers, moments of self-awakening, divine
inspiration, and spiritual wisdom.
For
those who do not have a specific religion, but still believe in the control of
a Being greater than themselves, the spirit is the deep understanding of
the inexplicable control and the natural cycle of all things—that is, certain
things in life are beyond human control and understanding; certain things in
life follow a natural cycle or order, such as life is inevitably followed by
death.
For
those who are non-believers, but still decent human beings, the spirit is the conscience
that can tell them what is right
and wrong, and not just following the law and order of their countries.
Spiritual Wisdom
In
different ways, we all have a spirit
of some sort, although some of us may separate ourselves from it, either
consciously or subconsciously. The human spirit is like a shadow of ourselves:
sometimes we see more of it, and sometimes we see less of it, but it is always
within us, part and parcel of our being, forever following us wherever we go,
whether we like it or not.
If you
believe that you have a spirit, then that spirit monitors your soul, providing
you with a map and a compass to guide you along your life journey, which has
many detours and sideways along your life journey. To reach your destination,
spiritual wisdom is a necessity, and not an option.
