RE: Wearing spirituality as a mask

in #spirituality6 years ago

Hello Phi...thanks for dropping those great lines...dont get me wrong, im all in for spirituality, just highlighting not making it a fuel to fire up ego, rather than seeing it for what it is...which is a path to reach the oneness. Which is a beauitful word u used right there.

The problem is when one doesnt know that he/she is wearing spirituality as a mask for their ego...in the great budhist story when a man went to a monk asking for wisdom, whenever the monk explains a concept or a law, the guy was like “oh i know that” “that must be a common sense” there when the monk offered the guy a cup of tea to which he agreed...and then the monk kept pouring the tea until the cup was full and it started to pour on the floor, the guy went “mr. monk, u r pouring the tea” to which the monk replied “how would u taste my tea until u empty ur cup”

This is what im talking about, to me, being on the spiritual path means always learning, be humble, wondering all the time about the sun, the earth, how we eat, how we sleep etc...a continuous learning curve goes up day by day...hope i made it clear bro 😄
