Spirituality of the modern world is debased as the means to reap personal gains. It is the same mentality of Judas Iscariot who followed Jesus in His entire public mission in this world for more than three years and betrayed his master for the gain of thirty silver coins. It is big question in many of our spiritual life, 'What I will gain with it?'
