ABSTRACT
In this article the relationship between law and spirituality has been explored. The difference between religion and spirituality has been discussed where it has been argued that the problems in the religion are not present in the spirituality and consequently there can be interrelation between the law and spirituality. Law aims at providing a just society where rights of the individuals can be realized. One of the most important functions of the state is to evolve a legal system which can ensure justice. Spirituality aims at realizing the divine potential of all human beings and inculcating the feeling of oneness and universal brotherhood. The message of oneness and universal brotherhood has the potential of providing a just society where people can live their life peacefully. The article goes on to argue that justice and equality are important features of both law and spirituality and spirituality can play an important role in averting the crime which is an essential function of the law. The article explores that how spirituality can contribute to the law and how Spirituality and law can play a collaborative role in bringing peace and harmony in the society.
