I also explained that according to the Vedas, I equally subscribe to the idea of one God, the Truth is one. Yet, to be a Muslim, one has to say “Allah is One and Muhammad is the Messenger”, while according to the Vedas I would say “God is One and every particle of the universe is Its Messenger”. We hold every particle as the Messenger and do not have to wait for someone in particular.
There has been so much caricaturing of God along the centuries. People forget there is beauty and music in the Creation and that every particle is sacred. Relating to this Creation is like relating to the Creator, no matter what you call it. So spirituality in that sense is that profound relationship one should establish in celebrating the integrity, the beauty, the diversity of Creation, the Oneness, as much as truth, compassion and justice, which are all attributes of the Creator.
Those values are all pervasive and God is formless since It is everywhere. It can be experienced any time. We do not need to go out and pray or do anything to feel truth, love, compassion. Just experiencing them within is experiencing God. The more we do so, the more empowered we feel to take on the forces of untruth, hatred, violence, injustice from without.

This is basically the story of your life?
Yes, this is what brought out activism in me. As a human rights or social activist, I never visit a temple, a mosque or a gurudwara. I never practice rituals. I just try to relate.
