Walt Whitman has projected the apparent picture of spirituality and transcendental attitude in most of his poems; especially in this study some selected poems of the poet have already been revealed mutual connection between animate and inanimate objects as a discovery of the mystic elements of Almighty. The connection represents the decoration of mystic elements where an avid reader can find out some of his poems as an exploration of mystic connections with animate state as well as with inanimate state as for improving democratic emotions throughout the world. The transcendental belief has reemphasized his attitude that inaugurates the ideas of connections among whole cosmology of Almighty. In consequence, the study approaches to invent the intuitions of Almighty who definitely knows one day every fragmented lands and oceans will be connected by the Suez Canal, Pacific Railroad and Atlantic cable. The relation in-between form of science and existential matter has beautifully explored his apparent spirituality and transcendental attitude which is an extremely pedagogical concern of American English literature.
