SPIRITUAL TRAPS
Question: What are the biggest traps in spirituality?
Answer: Relatively speaking, there are several major traps in spirituality. By far the biggest one and the first and foremost because if you fall into this trap all else follows:
Is taking the illusion to be real.
Believing this is real.
Once you fall for that trap
The second trap follows:
And that is, working and trying to make yourself into a better mirage,
more embodied
purified
more connected
more integrated into your life
transforming bad into good
trying to have a permanent state
changing vices into virtues
in order to enhance the experience of
"You" In THIS WORLD
Nisargadata Maharaj: "Give up the tendency to improve yourself."
The Buddha: "There is no world." The Diamond Sutra
