| Compassion, tolerance, and altruism bring us happiness and calmness. Therefore, these are basically spiritual. Religion comes later. Actually, religion is meant for satisfaction and is the ultimate source of happiness. It simply tries to strengthen the element of mental happiness. Perhaps positive mental thought is my conception of spirituality. |

| In the case of one individual or person like myself, the practice of compassion and religion coincides. But another individual, without religion, can practice spirituality without being religious. So, a secular person can be spiritual. Compassion is compulsory for everyone to practice, and if I were a dictator I would dictate to everyone to do so. |
