Ritual consists of the external practices of spirituality that help us become more receptive and aware of the closeness of our lives to the sacred. Ritual is the act of sanctifying action - even ordinary action - so that it has meaning. I can light a candle because I need the light or because the candle represents the light I need.
Christina Baldwin
These are two very common words
used by all of us in our day to day communication.
A Ritual is series of actions or
type of behaviour regularly & invariably followed , however spiritual is
relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul.
Some time we get confused if some
one follow certain ritual as spiritual or vice versa. Ritual can be seen and
spiritual can be experienced by an individual.
Ritual as well spiritual both are
important and have relevance in our life. Normal term used by us for an individuals :
A religious person and some time spiritual person. Again a person
become religious based on certain rituals and spiritual based on certain
principles in life.
Both religious and spiritual can
go together. One follow certain ritual to get peace in his/her life and one
become spiritual as he wants to experience peace in his life , both ways are
right subject to clear understanding of the concept.
The ultimate aim is to get peace
in one’s life . Don’t get confused and follow whatever rituals are essential in
life and be a spiritual in life to experience peace, good health and happiness .
