Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.

Eckhart Tolle
About This Quote

Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness. The word spiritual means different things to different people. It can mean religion, meditation, yoga, the spiritual discipline of the military, mind-body-spirit exercises or even just feeling good about yourself. All of these things can lead to a higher level of personal experience, but none of them will necessarily lead to more spiritual experiences.
