I think the big mistake here is the notion that
there is some single, inflexible, objective standard
of spirituality. There are as many ways of being
spiritual as there are people; and what is spiritual
for one person may be distinctly unspiritual for
someone else.

It's one thing to be truly humble; it's quite
another to rub folks' noses is how deeply humble you
are.  Performing humble tasks can be just as much a
function of egotism as avoiding them.

And perhaps one of the least-humble behaviors
imaginable is to criticize others for being
insufficiently humble.
