The most important thing in life is to follow our paths, and if we all do this then Nature will sort everything out. Truth and Law.
Is the purpose of the false spirituality appropriated by business following the path? Definitely not, but maybe some people will start following.
Are 99% of the people in the wider spiritual community following the path? I don’t know, it is not for me to judge but it is for them to be true to themselves. Observably in parts of our society it is encouraged for people to delude themselves that they are following the path when this is not the case.
But do we measure the path by how much our actions impact on social wellness and political struggle? The implication of this article is that our impact on how defiled the world is is the benchmark of path even though this is not explicitly stated, but we have to work on our own defilement as well.
Other than my own path, the mechanisms of path are not open to me to understand. If a person is in their room experiencing bliss and down the road a person is being robbed; this is not for me to assess. If politically the defiled world is a 1%-satrapy and I am encouraging meditation, is that the path or not? Being true is of course integral to the path. It is easy to let anger rise when our compassion sees the pain and suffering in the world. It is easy to become angry through our compassion when observing individuals claiming they are following the path but apparently not contributing to social well-being. But at what point on their paths are they?
People need to follow their paths at their own pace. Requirements of the path are 100% dedication and 100% engagement, but how many of us can reach that? Do we give up because we don’t reach this? Do we give up because currently our path is not carrying a placard or denouncing Bezos?
If you feel you are on your path but you don’t match up to criteria such as 100% dedication, 100% engagement and some compassionate activism, please don’t give up. In this last sentence it is not the criteria but your feeling that matters, if you are genuinely trying to follow your path that is what counts. If we follow our paths then activism will arise at some point – when we choose, ultimately an objective of path is ending defilement personally and societally.
Yes false spirituality contributes to the 1%-satrapy, but where we are on the path varies. “Humanity will not survive if we don't all start getting very, very real with ourselves very, very soon, both inwardly and outwardly” is observably true but we respond by following our paths and not by being pressured into emotional actions. Be true to yourself, authenticity is what counts – not activist nectar points (too harsh?).
