This is learnt that india is a spiritual country , why , because the vedic knowledge exists in india only .
This is a separate topic to discuss whether Aryans were from india or abroad but the rishis were 100% Indians who were to see vedmantras in space or to make them by themselves .
Rigveda tells that Aryans were someone who performed yagyas with the help of gurus and there were many other Aryans or dravids who did not take part in these .
Again they were someone who believed that yagyas carry havan material to devas who were assumed to perform every natural function like fire , rain , air etc by agni devata ,indra devata , vayu devata or marut etc . which of course gita justifies as ..te deva bhavyantu vah , for ecological balance as we say .
They did not focus much on the almighty and its help and believed that he is beyond any assumption as to worship then whom...kasmai devay havisha vidhem . Also vedas direct not to find brahman but try may be done to find devas like aswinin kumars , avtars like rama krsna ,cows , brashakapi etc na veadaih , tapasah ,danen , yajyaya cha , gita says that no one can find him .
Bhagwadgita tells that such an act does not show the trust but the solution of their miseries therefore lord krsna clarified that the work done for body may be duty , good or bad but the work done for soul is dharm which practically is under spirituality but people either are busy in karmakandas or physical pleasures so both do not come under the welfare of soul , the real human duty , of course not bookish but experienced As the scientific developments coming on we see that the nature is performing everything for its balance , yagyen yagyam yajant..rig and yajurveda , yajante devata sidhim bhavati karmaja ..gita . Everything going in a circle , no begining and nor end . Scientists may tell when the mass becomes zero and so is with the creation .
spirituality therefore is only universal religion and not this and that or dwanda .
being material in sense nature can not live without a living being , maya adhyakshena and thus , sharir yatrapi , gita says , this body is tool for atma and lives its journey means body is not necessarily fixed for soul and may take many births for its purpose .
Then what the purpose is ?
Purpose as spirituality , swabhaavo’dhyaatm,the nature means the prakriti be whole universe or a single body makes the balance by its deeds .
Again looking towards gita , swabhavjen swen karmana , the deeds carry the soul to different bodies so as to perform till it makes balance .
And here comes the point of rebirth also sufferings and pleasures too .
So what to do when human body is alive before it is too late .
The answer gives spirituality . See ,yajurveda says ..
aviddyaya mrityum teertwa , means if you are cured by scientific processes and medicines and get a life again then go to spirituality .
Things disappear when we rush to spiritual shops , Like waiting for darshan of banke bihari for hours in fierce sun while not opening the door by the owner ,this all is non devotional . Actually goswamiji also tried to teach devotion by making bharat as higher while laxman was actually higher as per valmiki ramayan . So understanding gyan higher over the false devotion means vyabhicharini bhakti , is real spiritual .The spirituality teaches working for soul while the devotion for body , gita says niryogkshem atmavan . .
Similarly a mantra from yajurveda...na tasya pratima asti yasya nam mahadyashah..has been making many hue and cries , while if we refer gita , it is simple to say that nobody can make an idol of vishwaroopa or sahastra shirshah purushah , from rigveda , avjananti manushim..gita .
But it is 101% sure that we can make an idol of Vishnurupa ,so what the harm is there in upasana, dyayanti mam upasate...gita . .
The real and authentic definition of spirituality has been explained in this gitashloka , Shrutivipratipannaa ,when the intellect, perplexed by what has been heard as distorted , not understanding vedas properly , stands immovable and steady in the self or say atma as also described in brahadaranyak Upanishad as ,om tat sat and not selfish , then one attains spirituality .
How a human becomes spiritual ?
Abhyasen vairagyen ch, gita says . So during practice a human when keeps the mind detached , like a lotus leaf in water ,from sensual activities it becomes the pure observer of soul and gets spiritual .
Although many concepts and belief systems are there but vedic concept is considered foolproof source attain spirituality as it describes the both routes of attaining devic or devil paths . Bhagvatam says ..The mind being nothing in itself covers the soul in awaking and dreaming stages and puts the human in bad or good activities .
It is very well clear that no activity can be performed without the working mind and sensual pleasures or pain are resultant of such deeds but the pure soul keeps watch and a spiritual human liberates from bondage to get amrut , tasting nectar by shiva sankalpam Vedas say .
So only detachment or vairagya turning to prasadam , vairagyam brahmabhuyay kalpate , is a tool for spirituality and not intellectual , imagination , mental , reasonable , philosophy etc .
Even though renunciation , non attachment or abandonment can not be termed as spiritual .
