I love the term "spiritual journey." To me, it implies that the spiritual life is endless, and that no goal - neither "enlightenment," nor "transformation," nor "salvation," nor "union," etc. - is ever fully reached. Sometimes I'm tempted to compare myself to another person on the journey, acting as though I've traveled a mile, while they've only gone an inch. However, when I remember the infinite nature of the path ahead, I realize that both of us are actually just about THE SAME in our spiritual development! I love the way true spirituality always fosters this kind of humility, an attitude that is so necessary in a world where each of us has a tendency to think WE alone are right!
