Spiritual Ego main barrier for growth.

Bhagawan Lovingly Explains…

What Is Spiritual Ego…?

Spiritual ego, also known as
“spiritual materialism,”
is a term used to describe the tendency for individuals who have an interest in spirituality or personal growth to develop an inflated sense of self-importance or superiority based on their spiritual beliefs or practices.

Individuals with a spiritual ego may believe that they are more evolved, enlightened, or spiritually advanced than others, and may judge or look down on those who do not share their beliefs or practices.

They may also use their spiritual beliefs or practices as a way to bolster their self-esteem, gain social status, or validate their sense of identity.

Spiritual ego can manifest in various ways, such as:

Believing that one’s spiritual path is the only “right” path and looking down on those who follow different paths.

Feeling superior to others because of one’s spiritual practices or beliefs.

Using spirituality as a means to gain attention, admiration, or validation from others.

Judging others who are not as spiritually “advanced” or who do not share the same beliefs or practices.

Using spiritual language or concepts to justify one’s actions or beliefs, without examining them critically.

Spiritual ego can be harmful not only to the individual who holds these beliefs, but also to others around them, as it can create a sense of separation or division between individuals and groups.
It is important for individuals who are interested in spirituality or personal growth to be mindful of their own biases, judgments, and ego-driven tendencies, and to cultivate humility, compassion, and openness in their spiritual practices.
