    Thomas Aquinas, the father of scholastic philosophy, defines the spirit as the divine substance in his book Summa Theologiae. In other words, the spirit is the wisdom present in the hearts of men, and this spirit is in the man to perfect the soul and make it known as an inner teacher the eternal and the immaterial truths of the universe: “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal”, 2 Corinthians 4:18.
    The new testament in the Bible explains to us the triple division of man in body, soul and spirit. Although we cannot materially or physically verify that the soul and spirit exist, we do have indirect evidence of their existence. There are certainly people who do not become aware of the spirit, but this is because there are people with a poor advancement in spiritual knowledge.
    A proof of the existence of the spirit are his spiritual gifts, which sometimes in an extraordinary way are manifested among us. When Jesus is asked by his enemies, to make Jesus fall into error, if they should pay their taxes to Caesar or not, Jesus, moved by the spirit, answers them: “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God´”, Luke 20:25. This answer is beyond the human prudence, which is the highest virtue of the soul. The virtue of prudence is the correct use of reason according to the greek philosopher Aristotle. Jesus solves this problem with a gift of the spirit, the gift of advice or sacred listening: listen or perceive with attention, meditate with intuition and inspiration, decide with creativity and discernment. The gift of advice is not a virtue, is a perfection.: “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” Matthew 5:58. Our Lord Jesus resolves this practical problem by emulating God, that is, he resolves by capturing the personality of God; according to the philosopher Aristotle, emulation is the opposite of contempt and only the great personalities are emulated.
    Here we clearly see the difference between the faculties of the soul and the spirit, the faculties of the soul are imagination and fantasy, the faculties of the spirit are empathy, intuition, inspiration and creativity.

    The spirit is clearly one of the most important things that we have to develop within ourselves as persons if we want to reach the spiritual maturity, as other ascended masters such as Jesus, King Solomon, Daniel or Isaiah have already done: “Be holy, because I am holy” 1 Peter 1:16. It is in each one of us to develop that spiritual spark that is in our heart.

    you know your spirit that lives in your body.
    If u ignore it, it is your fault.
    Please try to observe and follow it.

    Please focus on below…

    When you do anything wrong with others intentionally, your inner spirit will prohibit to do so. But what you do, you ignore the pious part of your inner side and do the wrong for either your selfish needs or not willing to do the wrong evil deeds with others.

    So, you recognize the inner part of your body.

    Do I have a soul or I am a soul?
    This is one among the most intriguing questions I have ever heard.
    We are souls, we have bodies.
    Now comes another doubt, if I am a soul and this is my temporary body then why do I feel this temporary body more and the soul less?
    The way of spirituality leads you to yourself, to self-awareness and self-acknowledgement.
    It takes a lot of understanding or all that is around us and all that is within us to know truly about our existence.

    How do you know gravity works for you? Have you ever seen it? Have you ever held it?
    According to me, we just need to define the soul’s manifestations.

Spirituality

When we think about spirit that spirit is referring to invisible soul. Spirit in other word is invisible active energy of universal force. Every creature's physical forms are active due to presence of soul or spirit. It's like catalytic agent. Like oxygen. That remains unaffected during any action. A person, who wants to turn spiritual, should try to introvert his energy through meditation. One should change the mind from material gains by observing your own thoughts without chasing thoughts. Spirituality is self-realization.
