The Bible does say, "Do not grieve the Holy Spirit," Jesus did say that a lot of things can be done to Him but do not blaspheme against the Holy Spirit which is an unforgivable sin.
All the Father love is given through the Holy Spirit. He is the one who inspires us in all that we do. He lives in us. Jesus sent Him to live in us when He was assumed into Heaven.
So, if we keep our bodies dirty, our minds and soul dirty with daily sins, venial and mortal, the Holy Spirit is then living in all that dirt and filth then we are grieving the Holy Spirit. He inspires us daily to do the right things yet a lot of us spitefully do the wrong things and laugh at it.
We should keep our souls clean by daily confession and begging for forgiveness from God, our Father. The more we practice this, the less we commit these sins that grieves the Holy Spirit.
Our bodies are kept clean daily with soap and water. Our souls by confession and repentance.

Gods mercy is infinite and therefore there is nothing like unforgivable sin. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is simply to deny that it exits because it stems from the rejection of God. But once we ackowledge God, His forgiveness surpasses all our weaknesses. God is love and there is no evil in Him. Hell and condemnation theology were doctrines of men who tries to rule other men by attacking and gaining control of their greatest living tool which is their spirituality.

I think the only reference to it is in Matthew 12:31 when pharisees were calling the presence of the Holy Spirit with Jesus a demon. They were saying he was casting out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of demons.
Its only possible to be converted with the help of the Holy Spirit. In my opinion, the Holy Spirit is the member of the Trinity who can get really hurt since He is involved with us in such a direct, loving, nurturing way. So if He gets hurt by a person seeing He is indeed God, and that person willfully calls Him a demon, He may get hurt to the point He will not help that person to get saved, so that they can't be forgiven. Thats just my view though; somewhat speculative. Only proud religious leaders of other religions hard-set against God are likely to commit this sin, imo, in pride and conceit to maintain their status with their followers, despising what they really know is truly good, the very person of God Himself as the Holy Spirit, displaying His goodness in their sight.
I can't imagine any christian ever doing that, as they are never going to experience anything but love from Him.

Depending on your point of view, the whole Western church following the schism could be considered blasphemous against the holy spirit due to the "filioque clause" - the reason why the Eastern Orthodox church split was the marginalisation of the holy spirit in the Latin creed.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
It's when you deny the voice of God in your heart, you harden your heart to the Spirit of God and hence to the truth. In essence, it is denying God in His three forms (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
That is the ONLY unforgivable sin.
PS- and ONLY God knows when you've done it, nobody else.

Everyone is going to say when you "Deny" the Spirit's existance. However, that is not right. It is when you refuse to believe in Jesus after a lifetime of prompting.

when you have a knowledge of god and serve him, but then denie his existence or voice, this is blasphemy and it is a crime only god can deal with.

It is contributing something from God to the devil. And maybe it is denying Jesus. Do not do any of those things,
