Vishen Lakhiani argues that spirituality shouldn't mean withdrawing from the world. He says to pursue your desires without guilt, use meditation as a tool to improve your life, not escape it, and stop hiding behind passive routines.
Chapters
Stop trying to be spiritual. You don't need to be. The world doesn't need more spiritual people. The world needs more people who actually get things done. So follow your desires. Seek what your heart tells you you need to seek. And stop feeling guilty about it. Stop this bullshit guilt about money, sex, fame, glory and success. Use meditation to make you better at being human, not to escape this human world. In the words of Emily Fletcher, the great meditation teacher, meditation is about making you better at life itself, not better at meditating. I'm not a fan of hermetic meditation, which is about stepping out of human society. I'm a fan of active meditation, the meditation that Jose Silva or Osho speaks about. Meditation. That's about creating a better world. You already are spiritual. As C.S. lewis says, you do not have a soul. You are a soul. What you have is a body. Seek to use this body to embrace, relish, desire and experience with full zest. Everything. And if you see things about this human world that you feel aren't right, seek to fix it. So get off your damn yoga mats and go out there and change the world.
