What is the difference between divinity and spirituality?
There are differences between divinity and spirituality. It has become a trend to approach spiritual leaders to gain divine knowledge. Spiritual leaders primarily promote the human’s bio-energy activation, not divine aspects. Divinity refers to services that involve energizing the eternal human souls through Agni rituals / Naivedyam and providing a place to reside for them. These rituals help the godly souls to exist as eternal souls in the temples. They help the devotees to attain salvation, i.e., immortal soul status. The eternal human souls are worshipped as gods, and they are immortal heroes. By worshipping them, we can also develop similar skills by their energy’s reflection on us. Thus, we worship various gods with various cosmic energy-handling powers which is called divinity.
In spirituality, a practitioner tries to gather cosmic energies through his efforts, such as meditation, pranayama, yogic practices, etc. to nourish his human body and strengthen their mind power. These practices may help a little to strengthen their souls in the afterlife. In spirituality, the practitioner does not seek any energy support from the gods and does not perform any energizing rituals to appease the gods. Spiritual leaders propagate that ‘You can find the god inside yourself by deep meditation,’ ‘You and gods are the same, etc. Thus, the practitioners do not think about the godly souls’ support. In reality, no human, including the spiritual leaders who teach these methods, has succeeded in becoming an eternal soul as intended in this way of self-practice alone. Most spiritual leaders do not know about the various states of human souls. Human souls can be categorized as weak human souls, deformed souls (ghosts), strong human souls, eternal souls, godly souls, and skilled godly souls.
Spiritual leaders propagate that the cosmic energy or cosmos is almighty god. They believe that salvation means merging the human soul’s energy with the cosmos or open space. They are ignorant that such merging is nothing but the dispersal of human soul energy, which is not salvation, and real success for a human soul is to exist as an eternal soul.
Humanity does not understand the differences between divinity, spirituality, and social services in the present world. Divinity means performing rituals, temple constructions, etc. Spirituality means enhancing our body’s bioenergy through practices such as meditation and yoga, and a person depends on himself in the afterlife to strengthen his soul. In such spiritual practices, a person may not offer any cosmic energy to energize the gods in his life and hence cannot expect any help from the gods in the afterlife. People believe that when they perform various social services, they can attain salvation (heaven) in their afterlife. The difference between social service and divine service may be understood based on eternal cosmic energy laws.
