The Spiritual Couch Potato

March 6, 2022 by Lazer Brody

Modern society is so preoccupied with body that most people don’t even know that they have a soul. When people think that life is only body and the physical, they become candidates for depression. Why? For them, each day is a day closer to the cemetery. Is that all one has to look forward to in life? Thank goodness, no!

Champion athletes are highly aware of their bodies. A marathon runner feels what’s going on in each muscle of his legs and feet. Yet, an overweight person who never engages in physical activity and barely gets out of the sofa is utterly out of touch with his body. By the same token, one who never engages in spiritual activity loses touch with his soul. Spiritual awareness – awareness of the soul and its Creator – is a prerequisite for happiness and inner peace.

Here’s the good news: the soul is a tiny spark of the Creator. Just as the Creator is eternal, so is the soul. A person who prioritizes soul over body lives forever.
