meals every day

find shelter from the suffering of life, and a respectable position in
society.
 their parents expect
 Feel noble to do

9. JUST DESCRIPTION OF SPRITUAL
 How by becoming more popular and accepted by society.
 The spiritual element of each religious movement gets watered down
or distorted, and what is left is a social institution.
 Teachings become dogmas, principles become moral rules, spiritual
practice becomes ritual, experiences become stories—in
short, spirituality becomes religion.
 What was once private and intimate becomes a social institution.

10.  The main difference between religion and spirituality is not so much
about what you believe—but about how you live and what is your
attitude.
 Majority of people who follow it as a religion, and a minority who
follows it as a spiritual path.
 Spirituality is the true essence, and the true origin, of every religious
movement.

11.  Religion is a path to God. Spirituality is also a path to God. However,
they have differences in approach.
 “The essence of religion:
Fear God and obey God.
The quintessence of spirituality:
Love God and become another God.”

13. “THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION WE MAKE IS
WHETHER WE BELIEVE WE LIVE IN A FRIENDLY OR
HOSTILE UNIVERSE.” — ALBERT EINSTEIN

14.  Religion says that truth is what the scriptures say, and you must
believe it.
 Science says that truth is only the facts that can be experimentally
proven through measuring devices, equations, and reason.
 Spirituality says that reason is not the only means of knowing, but that
this doesn’t mean one needs to have blind faith in religious doctrines
either.
 spirituality can dialogue with science, while religion can’t.
