Could it be, that we are asked to show devotion to a deity, so that we forget ourselves for a moment?
Could it be, that we are asked to show sympathy to the destitute, so that we forget ourselves for a moment?
Could it be, that we are asked to show gratitude to a benefactor, so that we forget ourselves for a moment?
Could it be, that we are asked to donate to charity, so that we forget ourselves for a moment?
Yes, it could be.
Because spirituality is all about forgetting ourselves to know our true Self.
