Meiner Ansicht nach bedeutet Spiritualität, lebendig-sein. Ein geistiger Mensch, der zur Schönheit der Poesie erwacht ist, der für die Schönheit von Melodie und Harmonie empfänglich ist, der sich an Kunst erfreut und sich von der Schönheit der Natur begeistern lässt, der als lebendiges Wesen lebt, und nicht als ein totes, diesen Menschen kann man spirituell nennen. (S. 280)

Through the whole spiritual process, what we learn is to disillusion this false ego. The annihilation of this false ego is its disillusionment. When once it is disillusioned, then the true ego realizes its own merit. It is in this realization that the soul enters the kingdom of God. It is in this realization that the soul is born again, a birth which opens the doors of heaven.
