 The quest for spiritual growth is perhaps the most worthwhile endeavor to embark on. A person has three most fundamental aspects- the mind, the body and the spirit. These three aspects have to be nurtured. The body by all means is nourished with food. But what of the intangible aspects- the mind and the body? As much as they are intangible, they are those which are most essential.
Many times it has been supposed- that which is invisible is more of the essence. The body can break down. The mind can be in a disarray. But what of the spirit? When a person’s spirit is fortified, it can be unbroken. The spirit can be that which can remain standing despite the whole being being plundered.

Such is why the spirit has to be strengthened. A strong and unwavering spirit can be attained by cultivating spiritual growth. Being spiritual has very little to do with being religious. A person can be religious without being spiritual, and one who is spiritual does not necessarily have to be religious.
What remains crucial is that the spirit is given more due. When one tends to their spirit, they are most mindful of their spiritual growth. A fulfilling spiritual growth leads to a fulfilling life. The spirit contains a person’s divine essence. It is that which knows the ultimate goodness. It has not so much to do with social and moral rules.
Rather, it is in being in touch with the true essence of one’s humanity. Cultivating one’s spiritual growth makes one a better person, a better human. Such is why achieving spiritual growth leads to success, almost in every aspect. Spiritual growth almost always leads to character. And character, by all means is fundamental to success.
This goes to say that spiritual growth should be a person’s initial quest. When the spirit is fulfilled, everything else will fall into place. Spiritual growth leads to contentment and strength of character. These are basic elements to contend with the incongruities of living. Spiritual growth means striving to keep in touch- with oneself and with others.
Spiritual growth is perhaps that which can bring the most satiating satisfaction. When one is fulfilled from within, they are not likely to be swayed by external factors. Fears and anxieties and inhibitions are done away with. One rids themselves of wrong thoughts and beliefs. This then leads to awareness- principally of oneself.
Knowledge of oneself is the path to gaining all the other fundamental knowledge. Searching for the spiritual is the road to inner discovery, and the greatest treasure is perhaps within. This quest is very personal and very individual. One has to be an avid seeker to engage in such a quest.
And if one is avid enough, it can be attained – a state of inner bliss. Meditation, reflection and other spiritual practices can be means for spiritual growth. Or better yet, one can be a keen observer and ardent learner of life. Whatever experience has to teach can be nourishment for the spirit.
Only then can the spirit be truly fulfilled which leads to growth and realization.
