From Milk to Meat: The Journey of Spiritual Maturity

In the annals of spiritual literature, few metaphors are as potent as the transformation from milk to meat. A tender infant, entirely dependent, begins its life nourished by milk. Yet, as that child grows, matures, and gains strength, its diet must evolve. Milk remains fundamental but is supplemented, and eventually replaced, by more substantial sustenance. Similarly, the spiritual journey of a believer often begins with foundational teachings-the "milk" of spiritual knowledge. But to truly flourish and become robust in one's faith, one must transition to the "meat"-the deeper, more profound truths.
