Spirituality and action
In this episode, Natia Natsvlishvili is visiting our podcast and we discuss how spirituality motivates our actions. An important question is what we mean by spirituality. We also touch upon the difference between animals and humans, understanding that animals also have a spirituality. On this topic, the four of us don't agree on human superiority, but there must be some kind of abilities in human spirituality that are different from all other creatures. Maybe it is our ability to be the conductor of our action, and it is our spirituality that brings this conducting into a good, rational and moral manner, or maybe the animals also are the conductor of their own way of living according to the universal order?
