The Ultimate Paradigm Shift
Lord Caitanya's movement is the ultimate paradigm shift. By His grace what is impossible can easily be accomplished. Even in the midst of the most degraded age of Kali there can a complete, total respiritualization of the entire universe. Indeed, in due course it will become manifested as predicted in the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter 7, Text 26:
saj-jana, durjana, paṅgu, jaḍa, andha-gaṇa
prema-vanyāya ḍubāila jagatera jana
"The Krishna consciousness movement will inundate the entire world and drown everyone, whether one be a gentleman, a rogue or even lame, invalid or blind."
Those who want to live the most glorious life possible fully dedicate themselves to bringing about this ultimate paradigm shift with their every thought, word, and deed in all times, places, and circumstances.
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Would it be accurate to say that spirituality, in general, entails realizing that we are in a state of darkness?
That is to say do other spiritual paths, whether yogic or Mayavada, accept that we are currently in a state of darkness and must now come to know our true nature? If not, how do yogis and Mayavadis view how and why humanity is struggling for existence?
Sincerely,
Joe
Simply coming to the light is one level of spiritual realization. But going beyond the light to meet that person who is the source of the light is the perfection of spirituality. This is why those who have the highest knowledge of spirituality pray as follows, as cited in the Sri Isopanisad, Text 15:
hiraṇmayena pātreṇa
satyasyāpihitaṁ mukham
tat tvaṁ pūṣann apāvṛṇu
satya-dharmāya dṛṣṭaye
"O my Lord, sustainer of all that lives, Your real face is covered by Your dazzling effulgence. Kindly remove that covering and exhibit Yourself to Your pure devotee.”

Answer: Spirituality and It's Perfection
Yes, true spirituality means to realize that we are in darkness and that we have to somehow or other come to the light.Simply coming to the light is one level of spiritual realization. But going beyond the light to meet that person who is the source of the light is the perfection of spirituality. This is why those who have the highest knowledge of spirituality pray as follows, as cited in the Sri Isopanisad, Text 15:
hiraṇmayena pātreṇa
satyasyāpihitaṁ mukham
tat tvaṁ pūṣann apāvṛṇu
