Trading poverty for perfection, one life at a time
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Today, the world’s localized needs—for relief from hunger, poverty, political unrest—are broadcast to the global human family, eliciting responsive outpourings of charity or aid and grassroots movements that can make a difference.
Outside the media spotlight, another international grassroots movement is in motion. It is a movement of spiritual activists who, like those recorded in the Bible, are proving, in their individual lives, the power of spiritual perfection to prevail over poverty.
This movement of individuals—from Africa to the Americas, from the Middle East to Asia—deserves the earnest, prayerful support of spiritual thinkers everywhere. Each individual proof of spiritual perfection that overrules poverty’s seeming persistence shines a light of universal hope on the lie that humanity has to be resigned to suffering.
