Don’t Make Your Spirituality Another Ego Project

There is a strange trap in the spiritual world.

People begin by seeking freedom from the ego. Somewhere along the way, they develop a new ego around being spiritual.

They become proud of their meditation, their silence, their discipline, their knowledge and even their detachment.

They start comparing their spiritual progress with others.

But what is the point of dropping one identity only to build another?

You don't need to look spiritual, speak spiritual or prove how evolved you are.

Be ordinary.
Be authentic.
Be kind.
Be free.

The ultimate spiritual achievement may be having nothing to prove, even about your spirituality.
