When using the term "spiritual" to describe a person, I think of someone who recognizes that there is something greater out there, a creator, a force--God. "Spiritual" does not necessarily mean "religious," although they often go hand in hand. Looking for the sacred in the mundane, a spiritual person is firmly grounded in reality and yet not lost in the clouds.

The world spiritual used as an adjective such as "she is a spiritual person", means that she has dedicated her life to spiritual realization or to self-realization, understanding that we are not the temporary, material body or mind, but eternal spirit soul. To be "spiritual" means to refrain from material activities, speech and thoughts and keep ourselves in transcendental consciousness and actions. The root word spirit designates a transcendent reality of our existence that is eternal, full of knowledge and bliss.

The definition of spiritual is not of the physical sense. It is the sublime or divine state. It is the very essence of one's being................ the eternal soul. This spiritual being can never be destroyed.
