Material and Spiritual Progress | 2020

Ajahn Brahmali explores the contrast between material progress and spiritual progress, encouraging a reflection on what truly brings meaning and fulfillment in life.

Material progress (wealth, technology, status) is often seen as success in the modern world. Yet, despite material advances, people continue to feel restless, anxious, and dissatisfied.

Spiritual progress means reducing defilements, cultivating virtues, and growing in wisdom, peace, and compassion. Unlike material gains, spiritual development leads to lasting contentment and inner freedom.
