Spirituality in work and business – Managing the inner force

When one talks about spirituality, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Religion? Penance? The Himalayas? A person with a long beard sitting on the banks of a river?
No, certainly this is not what spirituality is about.  Spirituality is nothing but a personal inner feeling about life. It is a realization of the larger purpose of life. Following the path of spirituality ensures that you get beyond the trivial aspects of life like ego, materialistic pleasure and lets you breathe free. There are many preachers of spirituality, life, purpose of life etc. But if you dig deeper into their approach, it conveys one meaning - that happiness is the core purpose of life.

In my blog here, I would like to re-emphasize the teachings of different preachers, encourage discussions on work life balance, and share experiences. You can expect tips on meditation, schedules of relevant talks on the subject, and links to websites/ blogs on similar subjects. Through this I am looking forward to engaging with you all and exploring a journey of contentment.

A recent survey by Cadbury Connect revealed that 66% of the working professionals feel lonely, 77% want to share their highs and lows with someone and 57% are losing touch with emotional side due to over dependence on technology. With the help of this blog, I would want to make an effort to ensure that we are not among the 66%, 77% or 57% of the people. In fact, the next time this survey results are published, we wish to see a decline in these percentages.

Also, due to public demand I will include a humour section with a wide range of PJs. After all, this is to spread happiness. J

  2. Spirtuality is a little confusing terminology. You are spot on in defining the word - as a quest for inner peace and transcending material world. (check the wiki page on the topic).
    As you point out, there have been many people thinking about the ideal way of life and inspite of atleast 2000 years of moral evolution via religion, philosophers etc; we still haven't found the way to inner peace. You may want to ponder whether such quest is really a quirk of our neural connectivity and whether the concept of spirituality changes with time.
