Spiritual Growth: Awakening to Who We Really Are
Spiritual growth is the process of awakening to our true nature—the soul—and reconnecting with its divine origin. Imagine waking up one day and learning that your whole identity was mistaken, and that your real home, your true family, and your real name were somewhere far beyond this world. Wouldn’t you want to find your way back?
That’s what happens when we become spiritually aware. We begin to understand that we are not just our bodies, jobs, or roles in life—but something much deeper. We are souls, drops of divine Light, and our journey is about returning to our true Home—the spiritual realms.
So, how do we grow spiritually and move closer to this truth? Let’s explore.
What Is Spiritual Growth?
Spiritual growth is the process of becoming more aware of who we truly are—the soul—and learning how to live from that awareness. It’s about connecting with our inner self, understanding the purpose of life, and building a stronger relationship with the Divine.
As we grow spiritually, we begin to feel more love, compassion, peace, and clarity. Life becomes more meaningful, and we begin to live in harmony with others and the world around us.
