We can't really digest food unless there's hunger. So we can't really assimilate spiritual wisdom unless we feel the need for it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The world is starved for spiritual food.
Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul.
When we learn new behaviors and break through to higher levels of consciousness and love, we can fulfill the deeper spiritual hunger within.
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
Wisdom is a sacred communion.
We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing.
No matter how much we try to run away from this thirst for the answer to life, for the meaning of life, the intensity only gets stronger and stronger. We cannot escape these spiritual hungers.
The Divine wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth, but as a means whereby we learn to do without them; not as a means whereby we escape evil, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.
In order to have wisdom we must have ignorance.
Food, in the end, in our own tradition, is something holy. It's not about nutrients and calories. It's about sharing. It's about honesty. It's about identity.
