Modern spirituality is the new Narcissism

Modern spirituality is the new Narcissism. I am sure you all know someone who fits this bill. These days I don’t call myself spiritual or seek spiritual minded people. I say I am to deter religious fanatics or tease them into arguments. But I find spirituality without the practice of unwavering dharma or unconditional good deeds as a new form of narcissism in modern societies. Their selfies, yoga poses, “healing quotes”, eastern scarfs, AI designs, its degrading and narcissism written all over. If you don’t know anyone then most likely you are the one. Bottom line, If you carry ego embodied by inaction, instead of action which must emanate from the bedrock of kindness in your spiritual journey – then; a) it ain’t spiritual; for starters. And b) you ain’t journeying anywhere either. I know I am risking my internal balance by sharing this, but it has to be said. Perhaps a thorn is needed sometimes to remove a thorn. Ego is an unchecked self preservation and survival mechanism brewed in an hostile environment of selfishness, hatred and desperation. The irony is, it ends up creating the very same environment it once battled against. Spirituality starts, seeks, and ends in Silence. Forgive me for this noise. All praise to the unknown. If my heart gives in let the eternal silence take over it too. APTTU.
