The seek for spirituality

Utkatasana

We humans are not “all one” and if we were it would likely be a disaster, considering our history and footprint. But that does not belittle the relevance and effectiveness of individuals' quests for some forms of spirituality in our lives.

Among those practitioners looking for experiences that go beyond the pure physicality, for instance, there are some who seek spirituality into yoga and others who seek it through yoga.

I believe both positions/standings to be valid as long as we do not make the mistake of only seeking spirituality in transcendence and in a supposed "illumination", sterile and empty, without realizing that true spirituality is as earthly as helping in what little way we can someone in need, dedicating some of our precious time to a lonely person or contributing something, anything, to a canteen so that a few children can have at least one hot meal a day assured.

This kind of spirituality is what truly enlightens us. It enlightens us with the awareness that although we are not “all one”, and perhaps we will never reach that point, all is not lost.
