JK says all our ambition, social life, hobbies,children,job etc is a distraction to get away from the feeling of loneliness and restless we feel with in. which we have to face but we dont dare. so we find ways to get away.
I wonder if things are exactly opposite! sprituality is an escape route for people who have failed in other things.
not satisfied with job, with family life, not talented enough, no passion... what do you do? find Ravi Shankar and mediate :-)
Is it expected to be a one all cure, like taking drugs or drinking? escape from worldly life.
my husband drinks and I meditate :-) is there a difference? are we really facing things or escaping things?
too lazy or not interested enough to enjoy the job, not daring enough to find a job which u will realy enjoy, Feel stuck, so u believe in some suitable philosophy which fits ur case and follow it?  u grind ur teeth and make urself like what ever u have? is that what is Spirituality?

or I m thinking If infact is it an escape route out of worldly life.... why not escape? what is wrong with escapes - If they are real escpae routes that is, if they are dead ends then its a problem. When u found an escape route shouldnt u run in full speed out of it? Shouldnt u persue it full time rather than like a hobby?
