There are many ways to move away from the Divine,
This distancing, although frequently and cleverly covered with ‘spirituality’ speeches and attitudes, can lead to depression, arrogance, refusal of life and self-worship.
One will sprinkle his words with ‘detachment’ and the other will spread terms from Vedanta, with enough fluency to find a relay in the looks of his co-practitioners, and to appease his thirst for self-love.
Following a path of duality, an established religion does not allow us to protect ourselves against this estrangement.
It is also possible that this make it even more difficult to achieve the observation of such despair and arrogance.

Hmm… Spirituality as a mask to hide emptiness, in the bleak sense of that term. Tragic, possibly inescapable at some point in our experience; deceptively difficult to avoid (like most forms of self delusion).

A painful delusion.
A door opening onto light I’m sure
