Spiritual awakening

"Incorrect and of a low standard is also a purely carnal life. Since the purpose of our life should be only the care and multiplication of the flesh, this may be the conception of life in Kőbánya ("Stone Quarry"), but not even there in people's homes. If machines had minds, they would know at once that they were made not only to move and digest oil. Shall man be comforted in knowing that his existence is inferior to mechanical ends? In vain: there are such meat-machines. Indeed, they know no other purpose than digestion, breeding, and the gathering of the substances which sustain them. Such people are then affected by a family bereavement as if they had been struck on the forehead with a fist. But of course: the life of the flesh was considered the life of man, and if the flesh perishes, so does our life. But then a mysterious voice within the heart spoke: - It cannot be, it cannot be that man should perish thus! The agonized man then lifts up his head and cries out: - A drop of water! Lazarus, a drop of water! But in vain would Lazarus give a drop of water, he would only increase the thirst. You can't make a tree grow, blossom, and fruit in five minutes. Nor can spiritual self-knowledge, trust in God, be woven into reason all at once. But how can there be faith and reassurance for one who has only looked at the sky when he has contemplated the position of the clouds. Was the only thing he cared if his hair was right on his face, when he looked in the mirror? who seeks only refreshment in nature: who knows the four Jacks from card game but not the four Evangelists, and who has never sought nor studied the great thinkers of mankind, but will not hesitate to call them names. You, my sons, do not live such a carnal life, but a spiritual one. All for the soul! For the flesh, only that it may not be a nuisance."
