When Spiritual Ego gets on us
Spirituality is a continuous process that keeps happening within you. There is never a final destination to it, where you can say it's enough. On the path we keep evolving with the experiences of life. But when people start thinking that they are spiritually super then others around them, that is where the problem starts. This is an incident of a lady that I will like to share today. She has had a very rough past, separated from her husband, her daughter is also not with her and she has several health problems as well, her past has been very traumatic. She has been working on her healing process since the last few years and she has come a long way stabilizing herself. She has very good spiritual wisdom and one would like to sit and listen to her. She runs a nutrition company and promotes development of holistic health.

In the last few months, there has been some changes that I am seeing in her. From the way she communicates and behaves with people around her it shows that she feels she is much superior then others. In her company she enforces her decisions on her employees which are not relevant to work because she feels she is uplifting them spiritually. If anyone refuses to obey her she gets nasty with them. For a small e.g. she wants all her employees to compulsory read a spiritual book everyday for 1 hour. If anyone shows disinterest then she gets annoyed with them. She keeps organizing something or the other over the weekends telling them that it is for their mental wellbeing and spiritual growth, but she forgets that weekends everyone wants to spend time with their families, so someone who does not attend, the impact shows on their work. She has started believing that she is responsible for the spiritual growth of her employees then be it by force also.

What do you all think about this? I feel it's totally irrational. Everyone's spiritual journey is different and by forcing someone to read a book or attend a workshop that person is not going to become spiritual, rather they may want to turn away from it.

My personal thought is that I feel the spiritual ego has taken over on her, she feels she is the superior one and now that's her responsibility to tame everyone. With all that she does with her employees, the result is that her staff is unhappy, there is a huge turnaround every month. Her employees do not feel secured in their job, and everyone is shit scared of her. No one dares to say anything to her or give her feedback, because if they would do that, it would mean loss of their job. At one point of time, I really looked up to her but now I feel disappointed the way she has moved ahead in her spiritual journey. There is no humbleness, no sense of gratitude, no compassion. All of these are only seen in her words but not in action. There is a dichotomy in her behavior.

In this moment she is blinded by her spiritual ego and all that I wish is that she realizes this before she has a fall down.

To an extent you are right, she has had deep traumas, but at the same time when you are on your healing journey, the one most important thing is to be conscious of your actions all the time and with that take mindful actions which are not hurtful to others

I actually feel that the things she has gone through in life is what is making her react that way. She has good intentions but I also feel she’d be needing to see a therapist so she does not get used to this behavior

At one point of time she was a very humble person, but now that's kind of disappeared and I see a very different side of her which is not very pleasant.

I think she trying to dictate the spiritual path of others around her is definitely not the way to go, as it implies fixing everyone into your "box" because you think that's the only way to grow spiritually. I think developing a spiritual ego isn't uncommon on a spiritual path but one should not let it influence what they say or do. I hope she comes to her senses too and move past this irrational behaviour.

a good example. and nice definition - spiritual ego. I've seen many such persons as well. It's not about spirit at all then, and all their wisdom is artificial, because union of soul, body and brain makes your Ego be silent forever, and then at last you are free.
I think so.

You are right, when we start thinking that we are superior and we want to enforce our thoughts on others then that's in no way being spiritual

@nainaztengra Very deep words, but I fear that the spiritual ego will make the person unaware of the real world and create isolation and lack of distinction between reality and imagination. This happened to me and I mentioned this in my previous article.
