Spirituality was irrespective of cultural divisions… faith, beliefs… even religion! Spirituality was primarily based on truth and only truth. Spirituality as detailed in Bhagavad Gita was the only truth of life. Every single enlightened one who manifest on mother earth succeeded in reaching stage of enlightenment following teachings of Lord Krishna contained in Bhagavad Gita. This includes even Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed.
Lord Krishna is primarily depicted in Hinduism as sarthi (charioteer) of the chariot (human body) owned by Arjuna. For a person like Arjuna to reach stage of enlightenment, sermon of Bhagavad Gita was necessitated. In absence of teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita none could reach God, no matter what! Lord Krishna allegorically is soul atman existing in human body. Remaining truthful we could follow dictates of soul atman coming from within our heart to reach stage of enlightenment.
The voice of our soul atman coming from within our heart is the essence of life on mother earth. At any given point of time we could either follow dictates of soul atman or our ego. Those dominated by ego failed to hear the sweet small promptings of soul atman coming from within. Such human beings failed to indulge in spirituality. They preferred path of religion (rituals) that was simpler to follow.
Seekers of God always listened to the voice of their soul atman coming from within their heart. As the voice of our soul atman always guides us on right path, following the inner voice one could easily complete spiritual journey to reach stage of enlightenment, moksha salvation!
All religions primarily were a means to keep flock of like-minded people bonded together. Following path of religion none ever reached God. Spirituality was distinct from religion (path of rituals). At any stage of life now or in future, religion could never blend with spirituality. Both had distinct approaches and goals of life.
