Abstract

Throughout the lifespan the individual is faced with many challenges in the form of crisis. The greatest learning in life is attained when an individual emerges out from these vicissitudes without being psychologically contaminated, fatigued and exhausted. In the case of adversity the individual utilizes the psychological resources to experience real meaning of life. Psychological resources are the ability of individual to utilize their own inner psychological strength for maintaining well-being, contentment, and satisfaction. These are open to change in the process of lifespan development. These psychological resources could be enhanced bringing spirituality into practice. The focus of spirituality is on certain “way of being” the inner self i.e. the Aatma. This paper is an attempt to understand how psychological resources could be enhanced though adopting the spiritual aspect of existence.
