Summary/Abstract: In the modern age, religion and spirituality stood scrutinised and criticized. We agree that all criticisms and negative evaluations have a thought-provoking value. We agree too that people can make of their spiritual convictions an idle and unproductive force in their lives, if they choose to do so. On the contrary, if they so decide, they can make of it the strongest motivating force in the world. A spiritual outlook can generate a deep sense of responsibility for addressing the current problems of the world, like the increase of violence and corruption, economic imbalance, aggravation of poverty, ecological disaster, damage to cultures, erosion of ethical values, poor governance, biased media, harassment of minorities, gender bias, and others.
