The personal life is driven by ego, preferences, and the attempt to make life conform to what one wants. In contrast, the impersonal life begins when one stops being governed by these inner dictates. Spirituality is the process of letting go of attachment to the personal self rather than trying to manipulate the world to satisfy it. As personal reactions are released, consciousness naturally expands into a state of freedom, peace, and ever-new joy that is independent of external conditions.
