The misconception that spiritual teachings need to be "more practical" reveals either a misunderstanding of what spiritual practice truly is or exposure to teachings that aren't genuinely spiritual. Non-dual traditions offer direct pointers to immediate experience of consciousness that are inherently practical when actually implemented.

• Non-dual teachings provide direct access to formless awareness without delay
• Basic moral and ethical teachings aren't spiritual—they're common sense
• The Upanishads and teachings like "Aham Brahmasmi" (I am Brahman) are deeply practical
• Spiritual knowledge must be experienced to be understood
• Only a human guru can embody teachings in a way AI cannot
• Those who claim teachings aren't practical enough often haven't put them into practice
• True connection with consciousness naturally guides all aspects of life
