HIGH HOPES AND SPIRITUALITY
It is not good to raise hopes of redemption on an irrational aspirational basis. Better by far is to adhere to a practical truth based on empirical evidence. Even spirituality demands intellectual rigour as its effective check so that it is not led astray into blind alleyways of death. Immortality is not to be gained by forays into falsity, by rambling in the realm of the unreal. Spirituality is the science of the Spirit and must be pursued as such. Mere hopefulness of salvation while remaining indolent in one's spiritual practices will not be productive of the desired end. Hard work is a must, be it in temporal achievement or in transcendental. Yes, diligence is demanded in every endeavour for its success.
