They That Hunger Shall Be Fed (Matt. 5:6)

They who hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled. Is there anyone who does not have a soul hunger? Does not the spirit of man thirst after knowledge and understanding, yearn for Truth and Reality, as blind men yearn for light? And his hunger can only be satisfied with spiritual food, as manna from heaven.
Let us inquire into this teaching and see if it is an illusion. Turn to the history of those who have been spiritually-minded, and the question is answered. They have not received a stone when they asked for bread. All who have been hungry have been fed; their hunger has been blessed, in that it has led them to that only food – that heavenly manna – which has sustained, strengthened and upheld them, while the rest of the world (with thirst unsatisfied and appetite unappeased) has eagerly inquired from what store they bought their goods. They who hunger and thirst after reality are always fed, and directly by the hand of God Himself.
