Respecting the Practice
When
people use spiritual practice to try to compensate for feelings of
alienation and low self-esteem, they corrupt the true nature of
spiritual practice. Instead of loosening the manipulative ego that tries
to control its experience, they strengthen it, and their spiritual
practice remains unintegrated with the rest of their life.
