I think advanced knowledge in any field or realm of knowledge is hard, so someone who has some advanced knowledge in esoteric and spiritual arena could have minimal knowledge of quantum physics, an advanced mathematician can know minimal about advanced psychology. so I dont consider it at a different ‘darajah’ but a different yet parallel path of knowledge. and for this esoteric/spiritual knowledge there may be multiple sub paths as well, some may not be recommended by different approaches to life..whether it is some zen monk in a monastery, a kabbalah rabbi, a sufi, a theological scientist, a shaman, a peyote smoking with doctor…I have to give all of them and their ways some credence.

Spirituality and knowledge of spirituality are entirely different, writing an authentic book about spirituality does not make a you wali. Don’t confuse acquired knowledge with spirituality, they are’t parallel.
