It is a common place to see people inadvertently call religiosity, spirituality. There is a nexus, no doubt, between the two, but certainly they don't mean the same thing. Religion presumes knowledge of the answer to existential questions. Spirituality however is concerned with finding answers to knotty existential questions.

For instance, religions have ready answers to these questions about human existence: where did we come from? What is the purpose of being here? Wither do we go from here? But a rational being will not be at home with these religious answers, he will therefore progress in finding answers to these queries.

Moments come in the life of a mortal, when he feels the sensation to know what is true. At moments of dying or troubled sickness, time of great distress, man compulsorily asks questions as to why of his predicament or condition. These are the spiritual moments.

A spiritual person is essentially a seeker after the truth. A religious person is a believer. He operates from the angle of knowing. If you ask a believer if he knows God, he answers in the affirmative. A truly spiritual man, a seeker of the truth, will bluntly reply with a no, for an answer.

God, according to religious books, is a spirit, not seen. A believer we rather agree to know the unseen, but a spiritual fellow will not declare such knowledge.

Spirituality to a greater extent is devoid of religion. But erroneously a religious person is seen as a spiritual fellow. Whereas, a religious person claims to know, while the spiritual claims ignorant.

Having said this, it is easier for the ignorant to know than for the believer to actually get to know the truth.

In the theater of life, where there are so much to be known, a believer may not thrive as the ignorant is more likely to achieve more knowledge.

A believer can be likened to a blindfolded man who is crossing a ten lane expressway; only a miracle will prevent him from being knocked down by a moving vehicle. A spiritual person will rather open his eyes wide, and manouveur his way through the traffic, or avoid it altogether.

Well, the God of the Bible walks with people who are called "blindfolded"

*. John 9:38 "KJV:And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

41
KJV:Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth."

Hebrews 11:6 "
KJV:But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

*. KJV:Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HAVE NOT SEEN, AND YET HAVE BELIEVED.

In conclusion, a spiritualist is really an agnostic, plain and simple?
