It is very difficult to gain *proficiency* in Religion without spirituality,
this is true, that is why they go han
I think Religion is a bi-product of spirituality, as opposed to sprituality
being a bi-product of religion.
First you have spirituality. Someone achieves great spiritual development and
achieves a great deal of admiration. So a bunch of people follow that person,

Additionally, the suggestion that one is 'spiritual' and not Religious,
generally means one does not follow any 'sectarian' Religion, but some take it
a step further and suggest that Religion itself doesn't even lead to

Q: Dear Guruji, I have never been a spiritual or a true religious person. How
can I learn to let go and believe?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You don't have to label yourself- I am spiritual,

Fair enough. Regards Krishnamurti and Tolle. I think Krishnamurti's style of
communicating his experience to others was largely confusing, though now I get
what he was saying much better than in years past. Tolle does fare better, and
is rather charming to listen to, so you get a sense of what h

'wgm4u' I am quoting from two different posts here (Turq & Xeno). I think you
are missing something here. I cannot really speak for Turq, but to take a shot,

I think what Turq is trying to say is that ALL of life itself, is Religion,
either it is poorly practiced Religion or Wisely practiced Religion.
Because life itself is a form of school and learning (through the experience of
opposites) whose purpose is to bring all human Beings to the fulfillme
