Bang on the Door~Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on Religion & Spirituality~

[Guest guest]

Religion & Spirituality “In divine creation the whole world is united, the earth is united. It is oneness. In the whole human race there is unity. The search for this unity, the unifying factor, is the real spiritual journey. Unfortunately, the so-called spiritual journey has divided human beings and torn apart the whole society. The distinction between religion and spirituality should first become clear in our minds. I normally give this example of a banana and banana skin: religion is like the banana skin and spirituality is the banana. People have thrown away the banana and are holding on to the skin. Religion is outer rituals and habits, a way of life; spirituality is the quest for the source of life, going back to the source, knowing deep within us we are

part of the divinity. When this distinction becomes clear in the mind, it is then our journey towards the source begins. It is then we become human beings. It is then we become united to that principle which is beneath all existence, which is beneath every happening and has enormous intelligence and orderliness.” Sri Sri Ravi ShankarExcerpt from: Bang on the Door \ Copyright © 2002-2007 ILoveULove.com \ Last modified: 09/23/07
