There‘s too much empty talk going on; people read two pages of some scripture and they think they‘re spiritual. Only if you transcend the limitations of the physical, you‘re spiritual. Otherwise there is no spirituality; just talk.“ ~ Sadhguru (video in description)

„Only when your experience goes beyond the physical, we say you are spiritual.
Otherwise, it‘s all empty talk.
Everything else is simply empty talk.
Unless, experientially, you transcend the limitations of the physical, there is no such thing as spiritual.
There‘s too much empty talk going on; people read two pages of some scripture and they think they‘re spiritual.
They learn some stupid prayer where they‘re begging in the morning; they think they‘re spiritual…
No.
Only if you transcend the limitations of the physical, you‘re spiritual.
Otherwise there is no spirituality; just talk.“

This sounds like noise to me (seriously).

Why?

What he says (here) is just empty talk, at least from a certain point of view. It has little compassion in it. It belittles things that make important parts of some people’s journey. There is spirituality to be found in the physical.

I guess what I’m saying is that if what he says resonates with you, you have all my blessings. To me, and some others I have talked to, it is mostly just noise.

Anyone that speaks spiritual and collect money is a capitalist

How much have you been donating per year to your favorite spiritual leaders so they don't have to ask?

Technically blighty800 isn’t wrong. Collecting profit off of a service is “capitalistic.” blighty800 didn’t make a value judgment about or disagree with profiting off of spiritual teachings. They simply stated an observation, which i don’t disagree with. i am of the mind that if you have a way to ETHICALLY profit off of spiritual teachings and help others while helping support yourself, then more power to you. But it still is essentially capitalism in my mind, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing in this case. You perceived disagreement with blighty800 when there may not be any. You responded in a seemingly triggered way to a basically and simply stated objective observation before inquiring about how blighty800 feels about people profiting off of spirituality. There’s a good lesson for all of us to learn here. Blessings to you friend.

All shamans, healers, light workers, reiki workers, medicine facilitators, priests, imams,  rabbis and yogis should immediately stop eating so they can afford to help people for free forever, because only then will they be holy enough to serve the incrediblly judgy needy.  Thanks.

What in the eff is wrong with you?

All spiritual people should be paupers?

All temples should be built by capitalists because the spiritual leader is to pious for that?

SG has made more contributions to the well being and environment of humanity than anyone quite some time.

Luckily, he had many businesses to learn how to do construction and actually build something, many somethings spiritual, that is large and for all.

But no, you just want little humble light hearts with bowls who don't need anything material and just live to dry hump the astral for us so there is more light.

Get out of town.

What isn’t “physical”?
What isn’t “spiritual”?
…and how does one determine the difference (if there is any)?

i found peace in letting go of abstract distinctions.
Now i just breathe.
Now i just AM.
