SUMMAR"

SECULARISM7

ecularism is the doctrine that morality should be based solely with regard to the

well7being of mankind in the present life to the e(clusion of all considerations

drowns from belief in 'od. Indian conception of secularism re>uired that there

shall be no state religion and the state shall treat all religions e>ually. ecularism

means non7religious. The secular #alues are based on facts and science.

ecularism means being materialistic and task oriented for managers. ecularism

is a professional #alue! which completely ignores the difference of caste! colour!

religion! culture etc.

SPIRITUALISM#

The term spiritual refers to the people who belie#e in religion. They belie#e that

work and religion are two sides of a coin. piritual #alues are an important source

of information. These #alues result in creati#ity of thought and practice in the field

of spiritual science. uman #alues! when based on spiritualism! act as the base for

thoughts! actions! skills and beha#ior and will mould a good character. These

spiritual #alues create a good man! a good manager and a good organisation. They

set good e(amples into his society. People ha#ing good character are also self

moti#ated! self7disciplined? they are good leaders

EFINATI%N %F SPIRITUALIT"

The term )(irit+a,itylacks a definiti#e definition! although social scientists ha#e

defined spirituality as the search for the sacred! where the sacred is broadlydefined as that which is set apart from the ordinaryand worthy of #eneration.

The use of the term spirituality has changed throughout the ages. In modern

times spirituality is often separated from AB+A*I0 religions! and connotes

ablendof humanistic psychologywith mysticaland esoteric traditionsand eastern

religionsaimed at personal well7being and personal de#elopment. The notion of

spiritual e(perience plays an important role in modern spirituality! but has a

relati#ely recent origin

There is no single! widely7agreed definition of spirituality. ocial scientists ha#edefined spirituality as the search for the sacred! for that which is set apart from the

ordinary and worthy of #eneration! a transcendent dimension within human

e(perience...disco#ered in moments in which the indi#idual >uestions the meaning

of personal e(istence and attempts to place the self within a broader ontological

conte(t.

According to 2AAI$*A)! the traditional meaning of spirituality is a process of

re7formation which aims to reco#er the original shape of man! the image of 'od.

To accomplish this! the re7formation is oriented at a mold! which represents theoriginal shapeC in $udaismthe Torah! in 0hristianity0hrist! in BuddhismBuddha!

in the Islam*uhammad. In modern times spirituality has come to mean the

internal e(perience of the indi#idual. It still denotes a process of transformation!

but in a conte(t separate from organied religious institutionsC spiritual but not

SECULARISM

Sec+,ari)mis the principle of separation of go#ernment institutions! and the

persons mandated to represent the tate! from religious institutionsand religious

dignitaries. In one sense! secularism may assert the right to be free from religious

rule and teachings! and the right to freedom from go#ernmental imposition of

religion upon the people within a state that is neutral on matters of belief. Hee

also separation of church and state. In another sense! it refers to the #iew that

human acti#ities and decisions! especiallypoliticalones! should be unbiased by

religious influence.

The fundamental principle of ecularism is that in his whole conduct! man should

be guided e(clusi#ely by considerations deri#ed only from the present life.

Anything that is abo#e or beyond the present life should be entirely o#erlooked.

2hether 'od e(ists and whether the soul is immortal are >uestions! which cannot

be answered precisely! so they should be ignored.

owe#er! there are many 77 particularly in the religious Has opposed to spiritual!

but not religious community 77 who belie#e that being spiritual! but not religiousis a distinction without an actual difference? and so they would argue that what the

styles of one whoKs secular Hnon7religious #ersus one whoKs religious Hnon7

secular. They would argue that the asker is using the word spiritual to mean

Ca)e )t+0y ?# 'ho 5now) 1e)t4

A young woman is brought into the accident and emergency department with a

massi#e gastrointestinal bleed! presumed to be oesophageal #aries. Immediately

the medical and nursing teams start to resuscitate the woman and the consultant

asks for four units of blood to be transfused. owe#er! the woman interrupts and

states that she does not want the blood transfusion because of her personal beliefs.

Therefore other #olume7e(panding agents ha#e to be used. "nfortunately thewoman dies from the se#eral hours later. Talk around the department is Nif only

the woman had not refused a blood transfusionF. /thers say Nwhat a waste of lifeF.

,et the womanFs husband says N'odFs will was done and she approached death as

she belie#ed was rightF.

Case stu"% & re'$e!tons(

2hose beliefs are correct in this situationMC The womanFs religious belief

that being faithful to her god is more important than sa#ing her life! or the

health carers who see sa#ing her life as more important than her belief ingodM 2hyM H+emember! from both perspecti#es what is being asked for is

considered to be the correct and most ethical alternati#e. ome aspects you

may ha#e consideredC

The sudden death of a lo#ed one is almost always shattering. )ot only

might the berea#ed e(perience an emotional crisis! they may e(perience a

spiritual crisis where as one berea#ed parent recalled @e#erything is

smashed! my hopes! my dreams! my future! my faithO.

trongly held beliefs may be the only thing that is intact for the womanFshusband. 2hilst he comforts himself in the knowledge that she died as her

beliefs allowed her to! he is ne#er the less facing berea#ement through the

traumatic and sudden death of his wife.

Appropriate and compassionate support in the immediacy of berea#ement

may well be the best spiritual care that can be offered.
