Spirituality - a bondage!

Disciple:
How do you explain the situation of spirituality today?
Master:
Some are chained with unobserved  chains. So don't grow.
disciple:
what chains?
Master:
A man highly trained in theology and spirituality and not progressing in his spiritual life is
like a man who was tied with a rope to his large coat but could perform rather well in his daily duties.
He was given a beautiful box and was told to use it any way for his progress.
He said since he is tied up he can use it as a seat to sit and work and take rest.
He became accustomed to it and lived for a long time.
After 50 years of this life he thought of opening the box.
And he found a box full of beautiful scissors.

A spiritual seeker often don't see what is needed to make him really happy.
