Living in Spirit
The religions of the world are not contradictory or antagonistic. They are but various phases of one eternal religion. This eternal religion is Sanatana-dharma, the Philosophy of Eternity and the Religion of Humanity. It is as old as God Himself; it is not confined to any time and place; and it is now everywhere. The word `religion¿, in its original meaning, is something that binds, and it is literally true in respect of Sanatana-dharma.
All religious traditions agree that bliss is an authentic sign of spiritual life. Bliss is, essentially, a matter of spirit. Spiritual bliss arises out of being right with God and our fellow human beings. Human nature is such that man cannot be happy in a state of self-centeredness. Man¿s felicity is to blossom in the social and spiritual space.
To live a spiritual life is to live in all its fullness. Fullness points to integration of the physical, the mental and the spiritual dimensions of human life. Spirituality involves the dynamic integration of all the three dimensions in living.
This book Living in Spirit makes an attempt to integrate the philosophical and practical dimensions as to the way of living in spirit.
