SPIRITUAL  =  HUMANE

To attend to the “spiritual” dimension of human development is to focus on what makes a human being humane.

Humane (or humanitarian) qualities of character are expressed in such virtues as

 Loving-kindness

 Generosity

 Self-sacrifice

 Temperance

  Justice/Honesty

 Fortitude

 Courage

 Reverence

 Patience

 Modesty.

Therefore, that educational program or process which inculcates and encourages these virtues may properly be regarded as a spiritual education.

          Although our race seems naturally insane,
          We have it in our hearts to grow humane.
