Are Your Ultra-Spiritual Words Matching Your Actions?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

“Like a beautiful flower full of color without fragrance, fruitless are the fair words of one who does not practice them.” This is one of the pearls of wisdom that Gautama Buddha left us in the Dhammapada. What it essentially means is that if you are just saying the “right” things that make you sound spiritual and enlightened, yet don’t reflect them in your actions, they’re not going to help you or anyone else.

If people see you are being a hypocrite due to saying one thing and doing another, your words will likely have the opposite effect. Think about how often there has been a well-known spiritual teacher or guru who has said something that sounds quite profound and insightful, yet then goes off and does something contradictory. People feel they cannot trust them anymore, or the words they spoke. In extreme cases, people discard everything that person has ever said and go down a path that is in a completely different direction. This new path may not help them get to where they want to go quicker, and may actually lead them into a maze that is difficult for them to get out of.

Ultra-spiritual talk can be found in every arena, both in traditional religions and eclectic spiritual belief systems. It’s just a reflection of a spiritual ego’s desire to be greater than others. The spiritual ego is one of the most dangerous flavors of the ego of all. It is very challenging for such a person to do some true self-reflection and realize they know all of the right words to say but aren’t doing the inner work that would reflect the truth of those words.

Be Authentic for the Sake of Our Evolution

Authenticity is key if we want to help humanity evolve. Otherwise, people will become jaded and disillusioned with all of the spiritual teachers, gurus, healers, channels, coaches, and others out there speaking with a voice of authority. This could lead to a backfire effect and hinder a wider band of human consciousness awakening and consciously evolving.

If we want to actually see a global consciousness shift, we should continually keep our egos in check and make sure they are not becoming backseat drivers or taking the wheel. We should be aware when we are speaking, especially if we are in a position where others listen to us and value what we have to say.
