New Age people's spirituality is not spirituality at all.
They seem very good people among New Age people's eyes.
But among other people's eyes they seem something else.
Because New Age people are confused or they got trapped into religion and culture.
As soon as they hear 'aum namah shivaaya," any mantras, they think they found the spirituality.
That is not even learning yet and they go into it and they start dreaming, "Oh, we'll go to the cave, we'll meditate."
"We'll go to the mountains, Himalayas and Everest. We'll meditate and we'll become yogi."
That's the way their dreams are. But they don't want to follow the real thing.
Like if New Age person becomes little touched into the spiritual person, they think that they can be pure.
In one day. It is not easy to be pure. Even physically. It takes years to clean up the body.
If person was meat-eater before, toxins are piled in the system.
Layers and layers of toxins. What about their mind? What about their thoughts?
So spiritual people seem to be closed-off more instead of expanding.
For me, spiritual person is supposed to be very flourishing.
Very loving towards the society. They don't say Jesus loves you. They will not feel compassion that why people are not learning.
Why they are not learning. They will not, seems like, feel compassion towards. They will just flourish. They will just blossom by following, by practicing something spiritual.
Spiritual practices, by sadhana. They don't put down the other people in the society - the spiritual people, the real spiritual people.
They don't think that they are the only real spiritual people. Everybody has potential. Everybody has possibility to expand.
For me, the spiritual people are very flourishing, very loving. The more a person becomes spiritual, even expanded, everywhere he or she will expand.
Or flourish everywhere. Becomes more alive, not a dead person.
Is not sitting in the cave 24 hours, he doesn't help the society. It helps the society when person is flourishing.
Becoming more pure and pure. And wherever that person goes it is going to affect other people who are not yet on the spiritual path.
The spiritual people are very alive people. They are very very beautiful people.
In the society. I wish all these New Age people can learn and they become really spiritual.
Not to get trapped into the culture or little things or to a little chant.
It might help a little bit, but it doesn't make them a spiritual person at all.
A spiritual seeker is the most beautiful person on the Earth.
He has to dig down to the deepest core of his being or her deepest core of being.
And what he will find there, he will find there bliss, peace.
Everlasting peace, everlasting bliss. That's what it is.
But it is hidden. They have to go backward.
But it doesn't mean they have to close off from the society.
They can still live in the society.
Because when a person is full of knowledge or knowing, where they will share if they are closed off?
That's why spiritual people never are closed off.
They love the society more, the way society is.
You cannot change the society, how they live it. But, you can change the person.
To share, when Mahavira was full of knowing, Buddha was full of knowing, they rushed towards cities to share that knowledge.
But when they were not full of it, they were sitting in the jungle, in the forest roaming like vagabond, roaming like a beach bum.
But, as soon as they got full of it, they knew how to share it, so they rushed towards the cities.
And after that you never see them in the forest, in the jungle.
They are always with the people. They become alive.
You see Mahavira, you see Buddha, you never see them like depressed, you never see them like fully they are stressed out.
They are always, always spreading the meditative light or the knowing light towards everyone.
A person, spiritual person, becomes full.
It is like a flower. It blossoms. It becomes perfect.
And it can fit in every society. No matter you go to Africa or Australia or India or US or South America.
Or even Arab country. That person can fit in any society.
Because it is alive. Aliveness, people love it. Perfection, people love it.
And that's what the person's supposed to be. Not running away from the society.
Just sharing with the society. That's why spiritual person becomes alive, perfect, and more sharing and loving and compassionate.
