The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to spirituality:
Spirituality may refer to an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality,[1][need quotation to verify] an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of their own being, or the "deepest values and meanings by which people live."[2][need quotation to verify]
