the need for a spiritual life

It is not possible to fill with material objects the deficiencies that are of the mind. Jesus says that man does not live by bread alone. We are the body and we have physical needs, but we are also the mind and we have mental or metaphysical needs. To be well physically we have to be clean to have clothes and food among other comforts and to be well mentally we also need a certain cleanliness and spiritual food... we need to be free from envy, greed, greed, pride, vanity, resentment to have our soul clean... and we need to have gratitude, humility, generosity, among others qualities to feed our spirit
