Man shall not live by bread alone

There are times in our life when the basic needs don’t seem so necessary. Our soul speaks a thousand languages, a language of spirituality and religion. We need to nurture our spirit the way we take care of our body.
Spirituality is understood as the search for the development of inner peace or the foundations of happiness, then spiritual practice of some kind is essential for personal well being.
We all know that one of the toughest problems that we must face as a nation is materialism. It is difficult to live as true disciples of God in a materialistic society. Every day we are bombarded with materialism. Our market driven society urges us to possess more and more things. Given this all- pervasive temptation we must always remember that “man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God”.
It is mans fate to fight with materialism and temptation. All through our lives we have a internal struggle going on within ourselves a war between our spirituality and our needs and wants. Most of the times our materialistic needs win over our spiritual hunger.
Peer pressure, the position in society, even our education can be blamed for it. But it all boils down to one thing, the need of our Spirit. The need which can be greater and fiercer than hunger for food, money and position in society.
Thus……“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God”.
