Spirituality as the Basis of Human Development

Humanity possesses a unique energy absent in material existence, capable of elevating an individual beyond life's material conditions and lifting him above nature with all its good qualities. This spirit of true humanity expresses itself in high sensual phenomena such as complete trust, love, and a sense of the sacred.Spiritual feelings must have their own internal structure that generates them. If the mind moves according to the logic of objective expediency, then the manifestations of this structure – the soul – are associated with self-giving without considerations of expediency. The soul brings additional shades of harmony to nature. The spiritual principle of a person is objectively valuable to the world around him, since the human task is to spiritualize matter, refine it and bring new beauty into the material world.Hence it is clear that education is even more necessary than the transfer of knowledge. A factor of paramount importance in the process of human development is the cultivation of spiritual feelings, the formation of a true understanding of the world, training in various arts and the ability to transform reality.
