Nourishment from food,
joy from exercising…
They fuel the movement,
of the mortal form…
Body benefits from it,
making us agile and fit…
But that’s only one half,
of the happiness equation…

The other half is to us,
like the flame is to a candle…
Spirituality is a sum total of parts
of faith, belief, and a lot of courage;
of love, compassion, and some humor…
It fuels stillness of the mind
paving way for clarity,
to life’s riveting questions…
not from the worldly outside,
but from intrinsically inside…

Crux of spirituality transcends boundaries
of religion, of tradition;
of customs, and rituals…
When those very factors,
have a divisive influence
on our thoughts and actions;
spirituality has a binding influence,
and unites us and the society…

Being in spiritual path
is a compelling enabler,
to come to peace with ourselves and our lives,
than to struggle to try changing either…
