Suppose we are on a road. We come across a crossroad with many pathways. We all know that if we choose one out of two or more roads, it means we shut out the option of using others. Even if all the paths travel to the same destination, we choose the one best suited for us, preferably short and easy. But the natural beauty and struggles of the other paths remain a mystery to us then. Following any faith blindly without understanding its significance is like following one road and shunning the rest. Spirituality is like the heart of faith. It gives us a broader and more tolerant view of all the paths, like a bird's eye view from where we can see and understand all the paths, their lessons and that all lead us to the same destination, with their own sets of norms and rituals and wonderful scientific reasoning behind each faith. This wider perspective of life makes us choose to learn and be aware without choosing a definite path to follow. Because we know, no matter which path we choose, it all leads to the knowledge of the soul, within us. The key to reaching our destination is to understand the questions our souls ask with our instinct and look for the answers. All the paths are open for us to explore and acknowledge as long as we ask the right questions.
