Spiritual practices help you move from identifying with the ego to identifying with the soul. Old age does that for you, too. It spiritualizes people naturally.
Aging gives you a chance to learn to use the shadows in your life as vehicles for your awakening – and the longest shadow of all is death. How you relate to death is the key spiritual work of aging. And how you see death is a function of how much you identify with that which dies. Egos die. Souls don’t die.
