INTRODUCTION

 Spirituality involves a belief in a relationship with some higher power, divine being or infinite source of energy.
Derived from Latin word SPIRITUS which refers to “breath” or “wind”. Social scientists have defined spirituality
as the search for "the sacred," where "the sacred" is broadly defined as that which is set apart from the ordinary
and worthy of veneration.

 The fundamental principle of Secularism is that in his whole conduct, man should be guide exclusively by
considerations derived from the present life itself. In one sense, secularism may assert the right to be free from
religious rule and teachings, and the right to freedom from governmental imposition of religion upon the people
within a state that is neutral on matters of belief.
