As a precaution against the misuse of the word “spiritual” perhaps it would be better to say “discursive insights concerning matters spiritual” instead of “spiritual insights” here. I recall having objected once in a letter to Jayantilal Parekh to an analogous incongruity in the title “Essays Divine and Human.” [TNM] Reply

I meant, how can the Essays themselves be Divine, when they simply pertain to discussions on the Divine? [TNM] Reply
