purpose of life for the person. If one is confused
of why he is born, a spiritual life can give him the
answers for it.

and harmony among people. It minimizes
violence, aggression. It encourages acceptance,
forgiveness which help everyone to live together.

Spirituality provides mental peace and also stability in the
family and at work. It helps to improve tolerance and
patience.
Improves mental and physical health - It gives better health as
it tells when to eat, how to eat, keep thoughts good. Keep
yourself clean. Even in case of sickness, spiritual strength
helps in recovery. It wades off fear and help in keeping the
mind composed on positive thoughts role in. This minimizes
depression and helps in faster healing.
Enhances love and affection: It helps encourages man to show
love and care for everyone around including environment. So
you notice and spiritually enlightened person is less harsh to

Even Jesus mentions that who goes to him would have a oasis of
wisdom formed within. And from it, the wisdom keeps on flowing out

It is quite unbelievable that we can keep nature under control. Even
