About This Quote
Religion is doing, spirituality is being. In the words of the great poet Rumi, “Religion is doing. Spirituality is being.” Religion is a thing that a person does, a series of activities that a person performs in order to earn a place in heaven. Religion asks a person to “do” something in order to get somewhere. Spirituality asks a person to “be.” Spirituality asks a person to be who they already are and to live their life with all the qualities that make them uniquely themselves.
