The Most Spiritual Person is Fighting the Darkest Battle
The shocking truth that no one knows about
“What are the criteria for a spiritual person?” someone asked me.
I was confused and laughed at the word ‘criteria’ as if we were encasing life with puny words.
I asked, “Criteria?!”
“Hmm. I mean, how would you know if someone is spiritual?” she poked again.
“Everyone is spiritual. It is about moving towards your true self. Everyone is moving ahead in their journey whether they know it or not.”
“But still? What about people who do active spiritual practices?” she further coaxed to get an answer from me.
I counter-questioned her, “What do you think spirituality is?”
“To reach our highest self.” She confidently replied.
“Okay. And what does that mean?”
“To be enlightened.” She smiled.
“And what does that mean?” I again asked.
Without wasting a second, she shot, “To be free of suffering.”
“And how do you think it is possible?”
“By going within. Meditating and doing spiritual practices.”
