Questioner:Hello sir, this is not a well-formulated question or anything, but the discussion around bodies kind of disturbed me a little bit. The kind of sense that it came from a place of privilege, because, sociopolitically, the body has been made the center of discrimination at so many levels — be it disabled bodies, bodies of color, or queer bodies. So, bodies have been made the center of discrimination, and continue to be made so.
Where I’m going with this is, should we kind of acknowledge some kind of limit to spirituality? Because, can spirituality show us a way in all walks of life?
Even the question that the previous questioner had asked about ghosts and such — just imagine if I’m schizophrenic and I’m delusional and I see things that are not really there for anybody else. Just because somebody else doesn’t see it, it does not make my presence non-existent, right?
So again, I’m repeating the question: does spirituality have a kind of limit? Should it not be sought in certain cases, like social discrimination? Are there places where we have to set it aside and put it on.
