So you consider yourself spiritual/religious

Hmm...

But do you really understand spirituality

You think it's crystals and tarot cards

Horoscope and star signs

Sound bowls and reiki healing

Psychic readings and white linen

I see you love to talk about metaphysics

Spiritual principles

And Bible verses

You love to push advice on others

Tell them how they should live

How they should act

Who they should love

Where they should live

When they don't follow your instructions

You call them a trigger

A toxicity

Cast them aside

Claim your self righteousness

Assert your hierarchy

Claim you are more spiritual than others

All the while looking down on others

Blaming them for your pain

Your discomfort

Claiming the world is the source of all your problems

If everyone around you change

And think the way you do

The world would be perfect

You surround yourself around "like-minded" people

Judge those who don't see the world the way you do

So you claim you are so spiritual

Hmm....

You see

Spirituality is only measured by one thing

And one thing only

Purity

See

I cannot hear the words that spew from your mouth

Because who you are is so deafening to me

See spirituality is measured by how you treat others

How loving you are

How you respect others

Revere others

Smile

Look people in the eye

What you say to their face and behind their back

The kindness you express to all sentient beings

Not only when others are watching

But when there is no one around

See the way you treat others is the reflection of how you treat yourself

Spirituality is expressed through self love

The divinity you recognize in yourself

Through the demonstration of your behavior in others

So, you consider yourself spiritual

Hmm...

But do you consider yourself kind?
