The study involves the learning from the spiritual gurus mentioning about the factors which create drive in them to dedicate their life in the direction of achieving a natural state of mind. They find immense energy and happiness in being associated with their spiritual beliefs. This is the spirit of believing in the energy of the intangible which is generated from human mind which brings the highest level of engagement for them due to creation of certain factors. This term 'spirit' alone covers the whole psychic or extrasensory aspects of the nature and attitude of any person which drives them to act in a particular manner.
