A view on - Ritual & Spiritual


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 .
