Spiritual?

To be spiritual is not to be just good and holy. It is not a tag a recognition, yet another label of respectability. Far far from that. It is about finding the courage of a lion within, yet meet the world with compassion and love. Work with hands of steel, yet with the softness of love. Spirituality is a journey to find-- not some god somewhere and book a place in heaven for yourself, but to find your own true self. The naked face devoid of all the role play. Roles that we adorn everyday, Son of someone, boss of someone, wife of someone. Amidst all these roles there is someone deep down who is distinct. That is the real you, the god within. Devotion, meditation and religion are mere routes to this. Once you find that then springs all else, courage and compassion to face this world, not as a soilder goes to war, but like a mother tending to her own at home. Each and everyone is spiritual. For without that spirit within, there is no life.
