There is just one ultimate wisdom spirituality can teach the human race, that is, life flows in and out of everything. From being potent in a particle of earth, life remains agile in millions of other forms. This understanding is essential for humanity because it will help us recognize that the planet is not an object for human exploits that can be handled or abused however we like. Seeing life in everything will help us extend our sense of justice from 'justice for humans' to 'justice for all planetary beings', which in turn would help in creating a sustainable world that lets species beings free to live and evolve, without unwarranted human interference. Nevertheless, this wisdom is not a wholesale right of any institution or an individual. It neither requires any extraordinary penance or practice nor initiation and tutelage under a teacher. It's a simple truth one can become self-aware of, through cognition and reasoning.
But then, like how vermin live on human excess, some namesake spiritual organizations thrive on human aspirations, vulnerabilities, and distress. They offer ecstasies, trance, and transit to an alter-world that doesn't exist. Their commodities tagged as spiritual does sell, although what they sell is mere deception. With one day program, 10-day program, year-long courses or a lifetime enslavement, they offer an escape from reality. One may even live in a den hole of a spiritual building till demise, thinking that he would reach a world of no return filled with trance. It's nothing but an intoxication of another kind, fed each day or talked into, through propaganda, by the captain of the spiritual ship, who most likely is someone who is fit for no real work, but good at delivering awe-inspiring speeches, ever at service to humans, to wash their brains and drug them with fantasies. There are an abundant many with fancy names and fancy dresses, with eyes drooling or half closed, giggling with sarcasm or posturing an outward silence, staging their drama of deception to near perfection. They hijack the simple understanding of spirituality to facilitate their business. Their crooked brains help them. They must have been loafers once with no real zeal to work to earn a legitimate livelihood. The idea of a business of spirituality must have struck them. And that's the enlightenment perhaps they boast of. If our laws are sharp enough and law implementation free from the shackles of corruption, these so-called enlightened personalities will be in prison. Unfortunately, we have crooks everywhere to help each other.
The real point that we must understand is an escape from the sufferings of reality through inaction or unproductive ritualistic action that creates no real value is a folly. It will neither lead to any redemption nor evolution of humanity. There is only one thing that can lead to evolution or the progress of consciousness and that is action. Work. But the question is what kind of a work? A work that is willfully and cognitively done, progressive in nature and least harmful to the planet and its beings. The basic understanding of spirituality (life is present in everything), untainted by the colored definitions of bogus spiritual leaders, can help humans to judge and enact labor that will result in the collective well-being and evolution of all planetary beings on earth. Rest all, bottled and sold as spirituality, are just anomalies that we must reason and reject.
