Anita Dube believes every human being has a divine component but not magnetised with spirituality because of prevailing social obligations.
What does the word spirituality mean to you ?
All human beings have a divine component – spirituality is being in touch or in tune with it. It is a difficult experience, and a difficult place to be in because the way social systems are now, being in tune is very far from our average life. It often is a very painful experience actually. It is a transformative one, and it also transforms anybody in touch with us -- that’s the beauty of it, but also the difficulty of it.
Why is it so painful ?
Because if you are in tune with it, you cannot do all the things you would if you were not in tune with it. You have to put away all corruptions of spirit. A part of you is very human and wants to do everything, while another has a sense of pain because you cannot go there. If you are in tune, you have to bear the pain of not going into consumption for instance, or into a certain kind of sensuality (not that spirituality is not sensual, but it is a different kind).
And you do not choose it. If you are in tune, you are in tune and you are in a bad place.
