I was listening to a talk by a Buddhist monk, and he said something interesting. He said one can be spiritual without being religious, and religious without being spiritual. I think I have always believed that, but hadn’t given it much thought till that talk. It’s an interesting point.
For some people the two terms may be synonymous. I think they are definately different. One can find spirituality through religion I think, but religion itself is an organized belief system to which one can belong and follow it’s ‘rules’, ‘perform’ the actions required without being spiritual at all. I’m sure we’ve all come across examples of that.
