Spirituality is not mumbo-jumbo.
00:02
Spirituality is hard, unrelenting inquiry.
00:07
You want to know what is going on.
00:09
Spirituality is philosophy with the purpose of liberation from the ordeal of life.
00:16
Spirituality is not a belief system.
00:18
Come on, start believing in this.
00:19
Come on, start just dancing or parroting something totally mindlessly.
00:23
Figure out the meaning.
00:25
And if there is no meaning, then there is no compulsion to again and again visit that place.
00:30
Everything is symbolic.
00:32
And the right meaning has to be asserted.
00:34
You must know what is being pointed at.
00:36
And if the temple is real, then it will definitely point only towards the sky, the truth, the absolute freedom.
00:45
And if you cannot see that, then you must say, oh, the temple right now holds no meaning for me.
00:49
Because that temple is not telling me of liberation.
00:53
Not the temple's fault really.
00:54
My own fault.
00:55
I cannot read the meaning.
