One of the most spiritually elevated statements I have ever heard is simply this:
"Vaishnav jan to tene kahiye jo peed paraayi jaane re" -- Narsinh Mehta (1414 - 1488)
Translation: "Call them the true devotees of Vishnu who are sensitive to the suffering of others."
If this sensitivity is not blossoming in you, whichever religion or spiritual path you might belong to and no matter how much you pray or what offerings you make, it's worth this much: Zero. You will not progress an inch - at least not in the right direction.
