Perhaps we are attracted to the people who seem spiritually
connected. We don’t really know anything
about the Divine, but there’s a group of people who are really into Him and
they seem really cool. Or nice. Or they serve a great meal after
worship. Whatever. So you want to be a part of that group.
Let me tell you, there are plenty of others in that group
who are there for the same reasons.
Maybe one guy was after a girl in the group, and he got caught going
even after he found out that she already had a boyfriend. Worship feels good. It can be habit forming.
The Spirit just wants to let you know that he is interested
in having a personal connection with you, not just have you join a social
club. Because a church or temple or
meditation center is just a social club on the surface. A group of people with similar interests and
lifestyles that enjoy being together.
But that is not a spiritual life.
A spiritual life is a relationship with the Spirit that results in inner
transformation.
The Spirit isn’t chintzy, though. Hang out, enjoy yourself. Just don’t try to change things to make it a
better social club. That’s not the
point.
