> Spirituality is a quality of constant awareness of our relationship with God and a desire to strengthen and improve that relationship.

> Doing this by thinking God's thoughts.
> Follow Gods Ways.
> Respond to Gods Spirit.
> Have Mind of Christ.
> Obey Bible & Organization.

> So what do you think of this ?

Spirituality is more a desire. I believe every human has an inner desire to satisfy needs associated with purpose. That desire is spirituality. How we nurture and gain from that desire is another subject altogether. I believe above you have focused on methods of nurturing spirituality rather than what spirituality is.

In respect to your comments above on nurturing spirituality, I do not agree with them entirely. In my case I believe that aspiring to have the mind of Christ by studying and applying the Bible helps nurture my own spirituality.

I consider the Bible to be a tool helping that we nurture our spirituality but not absolutely necessary to nurturing spirituality. There have been many that have lived and died without knowledge of the Bible who still nurtured their spirituality. Whether their aspirations were correct is another issue; some probably had good (correct) aspiration and some probably had bad (incorrect) aspirations.

In the end whether we nurture our spirituality toward good aspirations is, I believe, what makes us complete and able to enjoy the finer aspects of life. So nurturing our spirituality gives us purpose and, I believe, hope for future life.
