“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” ~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
While we go about our days catering to every physical need we have, we tend to forget that we are indeed spiritual beings inhabiting this beautiful Universe. As a result of this we, as a society have become materialistic and selfish. Our physical needs take precedence over our souls needs…thereby paving the way for loneliness, depression, lack of self worth, suicide and I cant even begin to mention the crimes that are committed as a result of it all.
Then why dont we start paying attention to our core, our soul? Its about time we started.
After receiving hundreds of emails and messages from readers on this very topic….I decided to start this monthly column…..
To kick start your soul thinking, I am presenting you with a few selected Quotes that will truly Awaken your otherwise dormant Spirit. The reason I’m starting this ‘HEAL YOUR SOUL Column’ with these Quotes is so that you may ponder and introspect on your own lives and ask your self how much attention you are actually giving to nurture and heal your soul….
10 Spiritual Quotes to Awaken Your Soul
- Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. ~ Buddha
- Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
- The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another’s, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises. ~ Leo Buscaglia
- Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations. ~ Samuel Ullman
- It isn’t until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are – not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within – that you can begin to take control. ~ Oprah Winfrey
- Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force – that thoughts rule the world. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
- A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire. ~ Thomas Merton
- I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It’s a journey of recovery. It’s a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It’s already there. ~ Billy Corgan
- The spiritual path – is simply the journey of living our lives. Everyone is on a spiritual path; most people just don’t know it. ~ Marianne Williamson
I sincerely hope these quotes will make you think deeper and really look into your soul.

Hi Zeenat,
Long back, when I was a young learner I had read that quote of Mahatma Gandhi and his views that spiritual training should begin as early as vocational training and he gave the reason too for that. Though I appreciated his idea but never bothered to assimilate it. I think you need a constant mentoring for spiritual training…it doesn’t come naturally. You are such a darling! Your ideas are always so unique!
My favourite quote here is:
“Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.”
Thanks for sharing! I welcome your new column!
Hi Balroop,
Youre right it does take constant practice and effort to stay on the spiritual path. As for your young learner days…you understood the best you could at that time. Now ofcourse things are different…and your deep understanding makes you see things in a different light.
I’m so glad youre looking forward to this new column. I’m very excited about it too 🙂
Thank you for sharing here.
