But I deal with this meditating and by understanding I've been put on the planet to serve humanity. I have to remind myself to live simply and not to overindulge, which is a constant battle in a material world.

We live in a material world, not a dramatic one. And truth resides not in melodrama, but in the precise measure of material things.

Well, we're living in a material world, and I'm a material girl... or boy.

There are two worlds we live in: a material world, bound by the laws of physics, and the world inside our mind, which is just as important.

However completely people might fulfil themselves in other spheres, if they don’t possess this understanding between their hands and material objects, they can never have more than an incomplete understanding of the world.

Subject the material world to the higher ends by understanding it in all its relations to daily life and action.
