About this Quote

This quote by Charles Bukowski suggests that a person's spiritual qualities can be judged by the tidiness of their kitchen. It indicates that a person who lives alone and has a perpetually tidy kitchen area is likely to have detestable spiritual qualities. This could suggest that the individual is overly interested in product possessions and is lacking in spiritual depth. It might likewise recommend that the person is extremely concentrated on their own needs and is not concerned with the requirements of others. The quote suggests that an individual who is spiritually fully grown will not be overly worried about the tidiness of their kitchen, but will rather concentrate on more crucial matters. This quote is a reminder that material possessions need to not be the focus of our lives, which spiritual growth ought to be our priority.
