Vishen Lakhiani argues that spirituality is not constrained by activity or context (e.g., DJing, clubbing, reality TV). He responds to a social-media comment questioning his spirituality after posting with cast members of the Real Housewives of Dubai, asserting that spirituality depends on who someone is in presence and actions (compassion, parenting, charity), not on appearances or public roles.
Chapters
I think you can be at a party and you can be spiritual because you are DJing a club, but you also have a reality TV show. Correct? By bling, yeah. And both of those things, reality TV and clubbing are not typically associated with spirituality. Correct. But I would actually say, why not? Because it's not about reality tv, it's not about clubs. It's about who you are in the presence of these experiences. Right. It's funny how people judge this. So speaking of the Real Housewives of Dubai, so they are friends of mine as well. And I put up a picture with them and me and somebody commented, I thought you were spiritual. And I responded to that comment. Why do you think this is not spiritual? Because based on a reality TV show, it's not about how reality TV makes out these people. It's about who they are in their heart. And I know these women. They are incredible mothers. They may be wealthy, they may have style, they may have glamour, but they do good work in the world. I know their charity projects. I know how they raised their kids. I think we can be spiritual, good, compassionate, tapping into our soul, being kind to people while we are a dj, while we are at a club.
