Spirituality exists and There is some phenomena out there in this universe which is dictating the events that are occurring in this universe.
That Phenomena in Vedas is called as Brahman , lets say it as GOD and Depicting Brahmaan as a human is for people to understand.
In Quran they also say GOD has no form, no shape or gender which is also the true.
In Bible they say GOD as father and also believe that GOD has created humans in his Image. Since most of the man kind fear the Nature,also worry about the future and consider them selves inferior infront of nature.
Projecting GOD as merciful and father is nice way to give strength to humans to lead their life.
Coming to Dharmic religions and Vedas.
The philosophy ( I call it philosophy since there is no scientific proof or facts yet to assert these claims) here is that Brahmaan, the cosmic spirit will guide a spirit (Atman) to enter into physical bodies and make journey.
The brain and the senses are just means through which we experience this world, the one that is guiding these senses is Atman, which is indestructible and pure . Every living being has it.
Based on the Karma one does in this life the next life will be decided. The journey starts from lower level beings onto higher level beings like Humans, through Reincarnations( That is cycle of rebirth and death)
The Ultimate aim of the Atman is to attain Moksha, that is no rebirth but absorbed into Brahmaan, the GOD.
Dharmic Philosophy says, The physical form (our body) which Atman is guiding (the consciousness in scientific terms) is like a prison for it, Atman always tries to ascend towards Brahmaan.
Now that the concept of Brahmaan and Atman is clear (I hope).
There are various ways to attain moksha, through Good Karma, Meditation and all.
The drawback of this thinking is that Dharmic philosophy seems encouraging humans to give up on life and search for Moksha, But Sanathana Dharma says a Human should fulfill his family duties through Good Karma first and then meditate to attain Moksha at the end of human life cycle.
I have an example for you which will make you think about this concept ( this is one of the great concepts India has given to world)

This guy Rambomjan, is considered as the highly evolved being according to Dharmic philosophy . At the age of 15 he is into meditation and is trying to attain Moksha just like Budhha did.
He has meditated infront of people for almost an year with out taking food or water. Which is common in Himalayan region where people meditate longer periods.
The Atman which is guiding Rambomjan knows it is closer to Brahmaan and is compelling him to meditate if we talk in the terms of Vedas.
This guy do not come under GOD but his consciousness is telling him that he is close to Moksha and so meditate. Another example is Sai Baba. He also did the meditation to attain Moksha when he is child.
When asked if he is Buddha, Rambomhjan replied that Bhudda attained Moksha and is integrated with Brahmaan, He is also planning to do that.

The above explanation of spirituality is from Vedas.
But there is one more guy called Shankaracharya who revolutionized the concept of Brahmaan and Atman and got rid of duality in Vedic Philosophy, proposed his Advaitha philosophy
Duality in the sense the Brahmaan and Consciousness of living beings.
Vedas consider both are different and GOD is superior to Atman.
But Shakaracharya proposed that the Brahmaan is the thing which has multiplied and formed Atmans , the identity of Atman and Brahmaan are the same.
It is GOD who is rejoicing as a winner , it is GOD who is laughing and It is GOD who is weeping in pain.
And it is GOD who is taking the multiplied Atmans after Moksha and integrating them into Him.
The answer for the question, Why GOD is doing all this is a simple
"I don't know" from Ram Krishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivenkananda"

If we study this concept through todays science.
There is a theory called "String theory" which is becoming popular.
Actually this is considered as Philosophy since there are no proofs until now.
According to this theory the whole world is made of strings which are vibrating in 11 Dimensions.
And there is some thing which is guiding these strings to vibrate to form life, planets and other physical forms. We can say this as Brahmaan.
The CERN particle smasher is doing its research in this direction to find the GOD particle, that is a particle with which the whole universe including the life forms are made off. Lets hope they find this may be a particle or a string energy(vibrating).
Then there are experiments that are being done on fifth dimension, its existence, which will enable to travel back and forth in time.
Lets hope they find clues and also lets hope India also comes up with own CERN :thumb:
As science finds more and more proofs in this direction the more and more of philosophy will be replaced by science. :thumb:
