What does spiritual wisdom mean to you?

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
Spirituality is so very, very simple but often ignored or considered meaningless for no good reason. Not all spiritualities are about a non physical realm. My spirituality is about everyday practical meanings. Granted I do have a curiousity about realms beyond, but most of my spiritual language is about practical meanings that can be applied.

Why should I give up a language that I am very, very comfortable with? What is its replacement? If spiritual virtues are irrelevant then what is relevant?

I hope this thread can be a good place to discuss/debate the topic of wisdom/no wisdom

When someone speaks of spiritual wisdom, what is your understanding of this topic?
What is difficult to understand in the teaching of spiritual wisdom?

Different religions or different spiritual teachings have their own way of describing wisdom.
Do you find it to be "nonsense"? or do you understand it to be more of a development from within each person who follows spiritual teaching?

And to Atheists who do not believe in something spiritual about life, be it spiritual beings or spiritual teachings.
What are your thoughts about spiritual wisdom?
And maybe the most difficult question to answer. since many atheists say there is nothing except this physical exitance, why is there to you no chance that something "invisible" can exist without you understand it or see it?
Can only science hold the truth?

Spiritual wisdom to me means being in a state of higher consciousness of soul-consciousness where one sees oneself as a soul in a body rather than perceiving oneself as the mere body. The latter state of consciousness is also known as body consciousness and is considered to be a lower state of consciousness due to identification with matter.

As per the prajapita brahmakumaris all sins can be traced to body-consciousness which is distinct from soul-consciousness.

In body-consciousness one perceives oneself as a mere body, while in soul-consciousness, one perceives oneself as a soul in a body.There is a major difference in the perception from these two states.

Identifying oneself with the body is said to lead to the vices of lust, anger, greed, attachments and egoism. All crimes can be traced back to these vices.

‘’When individuals of any age learn to turn inward and connect with their innate, divine nature and it’s Source, then, regardless of circumstances, they experience and express true peace and happiness. This is why spiritual education is the need of the hour.’’ Dadi Ratan Mohini ( Prajapita Brahmakumaris)
