The relationship between spirituality and materiality

Everyone desires a happy life in this world. There is no doubt that a happy life is based on material and spiritual foundations.

Therefore, if a person wants to achieve a happy life, he must not only work hard to obtain a certain material foundation, but also devote himself to spiritual construction to ensure that he has a beautiful spiritual life.

Looking around, we find that many people are focused on material pursuits and ignore spiritual construction. Therefore, when their material needs are satisfied, their spiritual needs become more prominent.

So, material satisfaction does not bring them happiness. On the contrary, it makes them feel that life is meaningless and purposeless, and their lives are empty and confused.

According to reports, the richer the countries in the world, the more people suffer from depression and the more people commit suicide. The reason is that their souls are empty and their material and spiritual imbalances are out of balance.

People often only care about the material aspect when they are poor, and have no time to take care of the spiritual aspect. However, when the material is satisfied to a certain extent, the spiritual needs become prominent.
