One of the greatest benefits of being spiritual is that it’s possibly the best equaliser one can have in life. This doesn’t need to have a fatalist connotation to it, it can truly be liberating. You may be rich and beautiful, or you may be poor and ugly. Whatever is your social status, in the spiritual sense we are all equal. Whether you only have ten dollars in your pocket or a hundred thousand dollars, we are essentially the same. But of course, you may think that we are in fact very different in reality, how can one say we are equal? Well, in spirituality we are focused on the inner world rather than the outer world. Everything on the outside is basically transient. You will not find anything that will last forever and most things can only provide temporary relief. The spiritual path is about exploring the inner aspect of the human experience.
