Almost all human beings spend the greatest part of their lives thinking and being preoccupied about material stuff. They strive to get better wealth, more friends, a higher social status etc. They don't dedicate so much time pondering about spirituality. They feel that there will be time to tackle this subject when they are older, when they have succeeded in their career and been successful in the eyes of the world. They probably feel that being spiritual means to forget about physicality, to detach from material affairs and devote oneself to higher thoughts, to religion, to prayer, to meditation, to devotional interests only. It might be thus, but not necessarily. Spirituality may also mean to always stay alert, to be aware, to find a deeper meaning in all that is happening. In this instance, it can be considered the opposite of superficiality.
