Many people have asked themselves this question "What is the meaning of Life"
Materialistic people will think of money, fame and status.These people may be religious but they are not necessarily spiritual.They want both God and Mammon.Jesus said "You cannot serve God and Mammon.It is like darkness and light cannot be in the same room.However, worldly people seem to think that they can have the best of both worlds.They want to enjoy life and at the same time wish to go to heaven when they die.This is why Christianity is so appealing to these people because they can get instant salvation just by accepting Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.While they are in this world, they have mental defilements of greed, jealousy, envy, hatred and many other negative emotions which they dont bother or think it is neccessay to eradicate.There is selfishness and lack of compassion in these people.Because of this, it is very difficult to be really humble.Humility is a characteristic of a saint or a self-realized person.
Jesus have said that "who is first shall be last and the last shall be first"He even showed the disciples the meaning of humilty by washing the disciples feet at the last supper.
Unfortunately, so called religious people are extremely egoistic even though they may attend church every sunday.
