Thinking is simply just thinking. In reality there's no such thing as a "superficial thought" or a "deep thought". It's just a thought, just words and images going through the mind. Whether those thoughts are about spiritual stuff or mundane doesn't matter. In the end it's a conditioned layer of concepts, words, ideas... basically noise.
If we remain unable to transcend this layer of noise, if we don't know what's beyond this identity-making process then there's really no difference between a so-called "spiritual person" or a "worldly person". Then it's basically just one guy talking to himself in his own head while being wrapped in a suit, and another guy talking to himself in his own head while being wrapped in orange cloth. Both are busy reifying their personal identity using a narrative, both are stuck on the level of words.
Whether it's religious thoughts or worldly thoughts - in the end it's just thoughts. Remaining stuck on this layer is one of the great pitfalls on this path. Beware of "understanding" - it's a trap 😉
