At the end of the day, the argument between spirituality and about spirituality, is all against the nature of spirituality. In arguing spirituality, we go against its very nature. The important question: “Am I being kind in what I am saying/doing”? And that is all. In all truth, to eat an ice cream cone and to smile with the joy of a child, is about a billion times more spiritual of an activity, than to discuss views about spirituality. The experience of innocence; the experience of joy–this edifies ourselves and others. And that is spirituality. An ice cream cone can be the most spiritual object in the universe, at any given time. . C. Joybell C.
About This Quote

When an adult is using his or her free time to gain spiritual enlightenment, this is not in the least bit wrong. However, when an adult is using their free time to argue about spirituality, this does not at all enhance their spiritual growth. This is simply wasting their time and making them feel angry. If they are arguing about spirituality with people who are looser than them, then there really isn’t much point in doing this.
