Meaning
This reads as a critique of self reliance dressed up as moral improvement. It can be taken to mean that a person may replace surrender, humility, or obedience with the more flattering idea of fixing the self, and still call it spiritual growth. It lands sharply in religious settings where personal ambition is easy to confuse with virtue.
