When u pray for a better life it is Religion when u pray for enlightenment it is spirituality
Spirituality is part of every religion - or rather all religions seem to have a mystic side which has been persecuted in the recent times Like Judaism has Kaballah, Sufis in Islam, It is also secret and covert
?
Like always with discussions, more questions raised than answered
what is the difference between mystic esoteric and spiritual?
What about religions like Shinto? and belief in fairies and elves - like Icelandic religion. They are spiritual. A different definition of spiritual.
Then What about shamanism, Ayahuasca - South American religions- Spiritual religions?
There are words and then there are concepts, sometimes words mean a lot of different things to different people. And they only touch upon the tips of the concepts they try to define. most of the definition is in abstract in our minds and it will probably rarely match the definition in other peoples minds :-)
