Gurudev, on what basis can I call myself as spiritual? Is the meaning of spirituality to go beyond the senses?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
I tell you, you just declare that you are spiritual. There is no problem, and nobody will challenge you. Nobody can, for everyone is made up of spirit. It is the spirit in you which is speaking, which understands, which is perceiving and communicating, etc. Everything is being done by the Spirit. Honoring this is spirituality.
Do you have some love and some peace within you? Do you have any of the human values within you? Then you are spiritual for sure. And if you are meditating, then you are doubly qualified to call yourself spiritual. You can say that you are a Ph.D. in spirituality (laughter).
