Spirituality is extremely selective unlike other fields where compromises can be made. It is the domain of truth where no relations or recommendations lay as foundations. It can be assimilated by those who are willing to accept this idea of individualistic as material or devilish. This science can only be understood, if experienced. Precisely, to follow spirituality one must forsake their individualism and surrender unto God completely. Accepting this truth can fuel one's spiritual path that leads to experience this truth in reality . Only when experienced can one taste the essence of spirituality.  Just like: Honey cannot be relished by its mere description as the description itself is based on the experience or taste of (honey) that is sweetness.

Self-Esteem, on the other hand, is completely based on universal brotherhood, where there is a genuine concern.
