Spirituality is a buzzword for many of us , especially those of us who emerged from the 60's and 70's. It is almost sacrilegious to say that "i am not spiritual"! However, what does spiritual mean?
For most it means looking within , finding a sense of peace, meditating and relaxation. For others it means a certain kind of music beat,the camaraderie of friends or harmony in large groups. Still for others it means complete focus on a certain point to the exclusion of all other impulses.
Whatever your take spirit is synonymous with will and movement.. If you will and if you move
you are spiritual. You may object and say that to be spiritual you must reject your physical selfishness . However what is non-spiritual about yourself and your ego?
So, you must mean selfless spirituality !!
However, there is no such thing as selfless spirituality. It is all about yourself , even if it is about your higher self . People who perfect their so called higher selves go about feeling as if they should be followed because THEY KNOW! So being aware of your higher faculties can make you just as selfish, arrogant and gluttonous as when you were subject to your lower feelings. So what is spirituality? A big hoax!!!!
The truth is that spirituality never fed the hungry or cared for the weak. The most spiritual Gurus are noted for their self-focus and a lack of compassion for others. Jim Jones much have been spiritual for people to follow him and drink the cyanide kool-aid. The list of spiritual guides and shysters are almost equal in length.
So-what are you searching for? G-DLINESS which unlike spirituality is not focused on self.
Nor is it focused merely on meditation. G-DLINESS demands action, care ,concern for details.
It is a living pursuit that demands that one be devoted to the desire of the Creator not one's whims.
G-DLINESS is the meticulous observance of the Torah!
