All physical functions work within limits. The physical world is momentary. While you strive to achieve something, you feel it will last for decades or even for a century, but once it has been completed and you look back, it was only for a brief instant.  When you eat a sumptuous feast after having starved, you think you will enjoy the taste for the whole day, but the enjoyment ends and disappears at the moment you finish eating and put down your fork. The same goes for love; the same goes for money, popularity, power, all the riches, honor, and glory of the world.

There is nothing greater, bigger, and wiser than to depart from all these things from the beginning, and focus on saving your spirit so that your spirit will go to the kingdom of heaven.  Such a person has gained something greater than the whole world, the entire globe under the heavens.  Don’t lose it.  What you will receive in heaven is much better than everything of the world.  How can we compare the eternal things with the things which will decay to nothingness?  Be firm!

You, human beings are wayfarers.  Even if you see a welcoming gazebo, fresh water, beautiful landscape, food to eat and drinks to sip, now is the time that you shall keep advancing toward your destination.  Your life is in the situation where even if you have food, entertainment, enjoyment, and relationships, even if you find all the pleasure, money, fame, and glory, now is the time when you should eat just a simple lunch box and keep going your way.  Or else, you will fail to arrive at the eternal home, the eternal heaven.

Here’s an interesting view on spiritual quotient and intelligence. If we look back into history, even the really smart people sometimes do make blunder mistakes. When we look into ourselves, we see that all the time, don’t we? However, people were not always like that, fortunately. Looking at the times of the middle ages, among the terrible wars and other things that happened, it was also a time when the best Renaissance, Gothic, Classical, and Romantic masterpieces were created in music, fine arts, and architecture. It was practically a time of miraculous works of art which we still admire and appreciate till today. So, let’s take a step back and ponder over that source of powerful inspiration, by which God made His beautiful works of arts with men.
