The world is after material things - they are all which satisfy the needs of the physical body. Anything that appeals to and satisfies the physical body is known as 'carnal thing'. A carnal thing is of the flesh and to the flesh.
It is true that one needs the things of the flesh. Everybody needs food to eat, water to drink, clothes to wear, shelter to stay in, etc., but they are all only feeding your physical self. They aren't reaching the inner 'you'. What is this 'you' inside?
There are 3 parts of a human: body, soul and spirit. Now, for your convenience sake, I arranged in a way so that your mind can understand. But actually, with respect to importance to functionality within a human being, the spirit lies first, soul next and body last.
People tend to confuse with these terms when they hear someone speak about these. They don't believe they have a spirit, because they cannot see it through their eyes.
The truth is that you cannot 'see' a spirit.
SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY DIAGRAM
The diagram which you see above is a pictorial representation of your being. It is represented in the form of circles, for better understanding.
The spirit is the (your) inner being, soul - the middle and body - the outer.
SPIRIT The spirit is the life giving substance which is not made of material substance. I give here no definition, but in a way in which you can understand. It is a substance which is not made up of atoms, molecules and matter. (This is why scientists do not come to a conclusion with respect to the existence of spirit). If it cannot be made up of atoms, molecules and matter, it cannot be perceived through senses. You cannot see a spirit. You cannot hold on to a spirit. You cannot lock up a spirit in a suitcase or a box. Even if you do, your lock system cannot hold it long enough to satisfy you.
SOUL This is a subject where science comes in handy with respect to understanding it more clearly. This subject, which I am trying to put forth is not against science. It is a science in itself, which could not be tackled by other sciences. The soul is that which the spirit uses to communicate with the flesh.
BODY This is where science works so well, that there are many branches evolved out by studying the human body. This part is made up of atoms, molecules and matter. You can 'see' a body, 'feel' it and carry it. It is physical and hence subject to physical force and modifiable by external agents like wind, rain, sunshine, etc. We can learn lot about body from doctors. The study of doctors, medicinal practitioners and others is valid, but limited to this realm, where a physical object modifies the body. If you are interested in this topic, you may comment.
