What is INTERSPIRITUALITY?

Interspirituality is the common ground, where all of the wisdom traditions meet. Interspirituality is committed to finding the spirituality both within and beyond religion. What ties us together is a shared desire to connect with the Ground of Being in a way that fully respects our differences.

“Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.”

“Love one another, and you will be happy.

It’s as simple and difficult as that.

There is no other way.”

“The world can only appear monochromatic to those who persist in interpreting what they experience through the lens of a single cultural paradigm, their own. For those with the eyes to see and the heart to feel, it remains a rich and complex topography of the spirit.”

– Wade Davis (Canadian cultural anthropologist, ethnobotanist, photographer, and writer)

“The man who makes God his beloved, what more does he want? His heart becomes awakened to all the beauty there is within and without. To him, God is all-in-all; to him, God is everywhere. If he goes to the Christian church or the Jewish synagogue, to Buddhist temple, to the Hindu shrine, or to the Muslim mosque, there is God. In the wilderness, in the forest, in the crowd, everywhere he sees God.”

_– _{Hazrat Inayat Khan}

“Interfaith dialogue doesn’t mean, ‘come, let me tell you something about my faith.’ Interfaith dialogue means, ‘come, tell me something about your faith – I want to learn – I want to grow’.”

– Abhijit Naskar
