Scenario

When spiritual friendships become competitive rather than supportive

My meditation buddy and I used to sit together in comfortable silence and share insights afterward, but ever since she started studying with a different guru we've been subtly competing about whose practices are more authentic or advanced. Our friendship has become this weird spiritual one-upmanship where we're both trying to prove our devotion instead of supporting each other's path.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Ego has infiltrated sacred friendship, turning spiritual companions into rivals rather than fellow travelers on the path.
