Explain with reference to the context:“Money is not required to buy even one necessity of the soul.” |

Answer» This line is taken from the lesson ‘Consumerist Culture’ by Cheriyan Alexander. The Writer has quoted this sentence made by Henry David Thoreau, the 19th C American philosopher. It is quoted to impress the fact that beyond a point it is necessary to say ‘enough’ to more meterial wealth. Even if we acquire all the material wealth we do not feel satisfied. But to gain, spiritual knowledge, no money is required. Hence “Money is not required to buy even one necessity of the soul”. |
