Removing the extra unwanted material

We all are in reality Spirit. What we need to understand is this: The statue is there within the block of wood or rock. What one need to do is remove the extra material that is hiding the statue. The spiritual practices what we carry out and talk about a lot are nothing but chiseling this extra material out from the block. The true nature of Spirit reveals itself once this extra unwanted material is removed. This extra unwanted material is nothing but our identity. The identity with which we identify ourselves with everything else that is outside that statue/Spirit (which is an illusion in itself).
