Abstract


Spirituality is a process of realizing a meaning of life, to know about true self and to act ethically or morally. Spirituality also describes in terms of Spiritual Quotient includes spiritual qualities that may be innate or learned through experience. Spirituality is directly associated with humanity or human-well being. An individual with high spiritual quotient is having a balance of life, free from all worries, stressors and anger and also live away from egocentrism or highly self centeredness. We can enhance our spiritual values by having faith in particular ideology or in religion but Spirituality is different from religion because a spiritual person may be religious but religious person may not be spiritual. This study focuses on how we can enhance our Spiritual Quotient or Spiritual Behaviour, and how spirituality is associated with human well-being.
