Embracing a Psychic Crutch

Some people are very fervent, but narcissistic in their devotions and confuse this for spirituality. But if it does not positively effect how you perceive and relate with others and engage the world around you, if it does not force you to examine whether you impact the social order positively, negatively or not at all, if it does not question whether the justice you seek is authentic, if it does not move you to infuse the human with the divine, if all it does is satisfy you that you're in God's graces or 'at one with the universe', then it's not spirituality. It's a broken person embracing a psychic crutch; a wounded soul refusing to admit the healing power of the divine, even as it feigns attachment to the divine.
