Spirituality may seem like a luxury to some, something only the privileged whose material needs have been met can aspire to. However, there are many spiritual teachers who move away from the material to focus their attention on the spiritual search. Which frequently implies deprivation, but also the opportunity to strip life bare and keep what is essential. Since this is necessary to realize what is essential and by giving it priority in our lives, we are able to connect with our inner power. In the words of Swami Vivekananda:
“You must grow from the inside out. Nobody can teach you, nobody can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher than your own soul.
However, there are times when we require teachers to guide us in the direction of a soul that we have sometimes ignored for years. May they teach us to trust our intuition as much or more than our senses and may they inspire us to continue our spiritual development despite adversity. These are some documentaries that can awaken or fuel your spiritual concerns:

«Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.»
