Simplified Meaning:

This quote is about ensuring that everyone has the basic necessities for living. It means that every person should have a job (work), enough to eat (bread), clean water to drink (water), and the simplest food to survive (salt). Imagine a small village where everyone needs to work hard to grow food and fetch water. If some people in that village don't have jobs or enough food and water, they will suffer. The community must come together to make sure everyone has what they need to live – no one should go hungry or thirsty. In modern life, this idea can be seen in how societies push for fair wages, clean drinking water, and food banks to support those in need. By ensuring everyone has these essentials, we create stronger, healthier, and happier communities. This teaching encourages us to help others and work towards a fairer world.
