Spirituality is Not a "Life-Style" Spirituality is a matter of another reality. It is absolutely indispensable to keep before us the fact that it is not a "commitment" and it is not a "life-style," even though a commitment and a life-style will come from it. Above all it is not a social or political stance. It is, today, in great danger of being "politicized." In a way, it is natural that it should be, for in the "other reality" there is the death knell of this world's orders. Seeing Jesus' power, those around him naturally tried to set up a government with him as the "king." But the essence and the aim of spirituality is not to correct social and political injustices. That will be its effect – though never exactly in ways we imagine as we come to it with our preexisting political concerns. That is not its use, and all thought of using it violates its nature.
