The
Role of Spiritual Wisdom in Human Happiness
We are now living in a secular society, where
science is the dominant religion. As a result, nowadays, many people do not
believe in the existence of God. However, despite the absence of God in their
lives, spirituality may still be present in the hearts of many. The explanation
is that they may still believe they have a soul, which is essentially an
unfathomable spirit providing the mind of an individual with
spiritual direction, guidance, and understanding—most importantly, it may give
that individual happiness.
For those who believe in God, the soul is the connection of man to God. This
inexplicable connection is a line of spiritual communication in the form of
prayers, moments of self-awakening, divine inspiration, and spiritual wisdom.
For those who do not have a specific religion,
but still believe in the control of a Being greater than themselves, the spirit
is the deep understanding of the inexplicable control and the natural
cycle of all things—that is, certain things in life are beyond human control
and understanding; certain things in life follow a natural cycle or order, such
as life is inevitably followed by death.
For those who are non-believers, but still
decent human beings, the spirit is the conscience that can tell them what is right and wrong,
and not just following the law and order of their countries.
Spiritual wisdom oversees the mind that controls
the body. The everyday life choices and decisions made by the mind affect the
body with respect to how it acts and reacts in the physical world; spiritual
wisdom provides the mind with guidance and inspiration, helping it to think right,
