A Truth
“Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.”
Buddha.
I believe truth is truth no matter where it is found and the Buddha got it right when he said,
“Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.”
By my way of thinking each person on this earth is made up of body mind and soul.
Our soul is the essence of our being. It is who we are. It is the thing that will continue on throughout eternity when our body has turned to dust.
The soul like the body needs feeding not physical food but spiritual food.
A secular person, one who fails to recognize there is a soul that needs to be fed at some point I believe in there life, realizes they have an emptiness inside.
Some try to fill this using drugs, illegal and legal. Some try to fill it by doing good even great humanitarian works. And while these things may give one a good feeling they do not fulfill the needs of the soul.
People do day and throughout history have tried to fill their souls with philosophies both good and bad. Yet all too often they still feel empty inside.
St. Augustine said,
“I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are very wise and very beautiful; but I never read in either of them: "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden."
St Augustine.
Philosophers and others have searched for centuries for millennia for the meaning of life. Seeking rest for the soul. Yet they have not found what Jesus offers.
Jesus said,
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30.
Jesus does in deed offer rest for your soul. I and other Christians know this that is why we want people to hear about Christ.
Henry Drummond wrote,
“Every character has an inward spring; let Christ be that spring. Every action has a keynote; let Christ be that note, to which your whole life is attuned.”
Henry Drummond.
What I would ask of you the reader, is to read the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. Let his words speak to your mind and soul. Let Jesus show you who He truly is. It cannot hurt.
At the very least you will be enriched by His teaching of universal truths that apply to all mankind.
At the very best you will find true rest for your soul and an assurance of going to heaven to be with God.
Please think about it.
