Spirituality is not about obtaining heaven, or pleasing gods, or accumulating virtue. It is about taking care of the quality of your experience, because that is all that is there in life. The experiencer has to be seen. If the experiencer operates from the wrong center, then even flying won’t help. When you are operating from the right center, even crawling is all right.

Questioner: Namaste Acharya Ji. The title Truth Without Apology attracts me. It invokes a sense of strength, a kind of declaration. Thank you for this.
As I was reading Chapter 138, it stated, "It's far better to crawl on the right path than to fly down the wrong one." This sense of righteousness has always attracted me, perhaps that is what has distinguished humanity across history. Can we then say righteousness is greatness, but it comes with a price and it keeps getting challenging?
Acharya Prashant: The right path is not the righteous path. Righteous carries a sense of being on the right side of morality. We are not talking of being righteous. Being right and being righteous are different things.
The quote in question here is, "It's far better to crawl on the right path than to fly on the wrong one." Right and wrong here are neither moral concepts nor righteous precepts. Right and wrong are defined by the one who is the experiencer of those things.
