1st question: The maturity of spirit
2nd question: By gaining the quality of spiritual maturity
Bonus: Manure with spiritual attributes. It can also be used to describe the non-spiritual manure excreted from spiritual bovines.
Fun fact: billcompugeek, the person who answered before me, is an example of the latter variety of spiritual manure.

Spiritual maturity is when a person knows what THEY believe about spiritual matters and don't adopt someone else's formulaic version of spirituality. Also the spirituality mature have no need to denigrate other people or their beliefs because the spiritually mature are secure in their own beliefs.

Spiritual Basics is that you are not this Body, you are Eternal Spirit Soul..
Spiritual Maturity is that nature of the soul is to serve God and it is happy and satisfied in that way.

Spiritual maturity is when someone is able to put in to practice what they have learned. Anyone can read and understand a spiritual book, but few actually live their lives in such a way.

Spiritual manure is pushing off atheism, naturalism and hatred toward the Lord Jesus Christ as a good thing. Agnosticism being atheism and naturalism in disguise is equally manure.
Spiritual maturity is making your peace with the Lord Jesus Christ and getting a reborn heart.

Read sri.Bhagavad Gita--Lord Krishna uses a concept called "Sthiths Pagjna"-A person who controls his temptation to elation when he/she is very happy and depression when he/ she is very sorrowful-This results out of Yogic practice.This is Spiritual maturity.

spiritual maturity is when someone is aware enough within themselves to make wise decisions, such as rejecting religion for spirituality, and for realizing spirituality and religion have no connection whatsoever to each other.
