We feed the body three times a day without question. But how often do we nourish the soul?
Life’s purpose isn’t answered by survival. Eating, sleeping, earning — these sustain the body. But what sustains the person inside it?
In Buddhist understanding, death is a final examination — a settling of karma accumulated across a lifetime. Material possessions cannot be carried through that door. Only what we’ve cultivated inwardly follows us.
If that’s true, then every day is an opportunity: to learn something, to help someone, to become a little more of the person you want to be at the end.
Nourish yourself spiritually, every day.
