How does spirituality differ from religion?

• The core of every religion is spirituality.

• Religion has its own defined dogmas, customs and rituals.

• Every religion defines it own ways of arriving at the truth. The truth is eventually spirituality. (But the ways of arriving at the truth can be contradictory)

• Religion becomes diluted over time due to the followers of a leader defining their dogmas. While spirituality being practical, the same methods are preserved down the ages with very little modification.

• Religion can be binding at times,but spirituality is about sharing.

• Religion is like the skin of a fruit while spirituality is the actual fruit.

• Skin is needed to some extent to preserve the fruit. But unfortunately these days, people just hang on to the skin and discard the actual fruit.
