Importance of Spirituality The subject of Spirituality is useful for both - for those who have worldly pursuits as well as for those with an inclination for spiritual practice. 1. In case of patients, if there is an attempt for a brief explanation to convey spirituality on an intellectual basis, then spiritual remedies are extremely important over two types of illnesses mentioned ahead: A.) An individual can do nothing about old age, incurable illnesses, and death. In such cases, if a patient is depressed, then to overcome depression, Spirituality may be used as a therapy to cultivate in him/her a philosophical attitude towards old age. B.) In cases of obsessive compulsive disorder (a mental illness), it is useful to keep the patients mind preoccupied. 2.) In the life of an average person, 20% of problems occur due to physical and/or psychological reasons. Another 30% are due to spiritual as well as physical and/or psychological reasons. The remaining 50% are solely spiritual in origin. This means that by performing spiritual practice, up to 80% of problems can be resolved or endured as a person is better able to accept ones destiny. 3.) For those desirous of worldly pleasures: Spiritual practice performed with expectations of worldly gains gives happiness and reduces unhappiness as well. 4.) For those in search of Bliss: They experience a blissful state by performing spiritual practice done without expectations of worldly gains. Besides, their worldly unhappiness also gets alleviated.
