Not By Bread Alone does Man Live.


Human beings are as busy as a bee, today life seems very mechanical and sometimes even chaotic. Sources of entertainment and activities of leisure, always seem to involve spending money for a few hours of enjoyment. The more one spends, the more the materialistic world has to offer. Some find it hard to even have a work-life balance. The equation of life seems to be disturbed, simply because there is no time to stand and stare. The beauty of nature, vast and vibrant do not seem to satisfy mankind. On the contrary they lose all the charm, for they are being exploited for the wrong means.

It has become rare to even see God's excellent creations, in big cities and towns. No wonder, the verses of the bible were written years ago, to remind people that they need to find solace and happiness from nature, which gives them a break from this mundane world.

"Man does not live by bread alone
But by truth and beauty
By grace and harmony
By work and leisure
By aspiration and achievement
Man does not live by bread alone
But by the splendour of the firmament at night
By the glory of the heavens at dawn
By the blending of colours at sunset
Man does not live by bread alone
But by the shining silver of a mountain torrent
By the rhythmic music of a flowing rivulet
By the mellow radiance of a soft-lit temple
Man does not live by bread alone
But by the fragrance of magnolia tree
By the majesty of mountain
By the crystal excellence of breakers
By the tenderness of a mother’s lap
By the warmth of a friendly clasp
By the lyrics of poets
By the wisdom of sages
By the biographies of great souls
Man does not live by bread alone
But by high companionship and
By seeking and finding by caring and sharing
By loving and being loved"
