Where does spirituality start?
Does it start when someone initiates prayer?
Does it start when someone goes to temple, church or mosque?
Does it start when someone reads a spiritual book, like Bagavat Gita, Bible, Quran?
Does it start when someone listens to the preaching of the priests?
It starts only when someone sacrifices something for others. The more you forego or prepared to forego for others the more you are elevating in the spiritual plane.
The great saints had lots of super powers, what we call in India is Siddhi. With those powers they could have had anything they wanted but they lived by wearing single cloth. They sacrificed everything and concentrated on the benefit of others and that is how they were on the top spiritual plane.
The expression of love is only when we do something for others without any expectations or selfish motive. Here also, though any material sacrifice is not involved, we are sacrificing our valuable time for others. This is what we generally call love. When our love through the sacrifices of time, energy, money extends to many people, then we are elevating in the spiritual plane.
The great saints, though they are capable of using their valuable time for material gains, they dedicate their time only for the benefit of others.
