What reading level is The Essentials of Spirituality book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To this end is theupward look, the appreciation and reverence, and to this end alsothe misgiving and the remonstrance when the great man deviatesfrom the course which he ought to follow. The same attitude ofloyalty we sometimes find among the disciples of great artists, andthe followers of great religious teachers. Loyalty is a virtue whichis somewhat underrated at the present day. Loyalty is notdebasing, not unworthy of a self-respecting man; it is but anothername for the spiritual attitude to...ward those who have a superiorgenius, to whose height we are lifted by our appreciation of them.
Furthermore, in our spiritual relation toward those who occupyabout the same plane of development with ourselves, the sameprinciple of sympathy with the best possible attainment should bethe rule. To rejoice in the failure of others, to accentuate in ourthinking and in our conversation the faults of others, to triumph attheir expense, is the utterly unspiritual attitude. To desire thatothers may manifest the excellence that is latent in them--be it liketo or different from our own, to desire that they shall have creditfor every excellence they possess, and to sedulously aid them indeveloping such excellence as they can attain to, that is thespiritual attitude.
