The life in this material world and the spiritual life are two different entities, like two rooms in our house.. pooja room and bedroom or living room.. Our activities and use of the space in the two rooms are not usually mixed up.. It is very great to have clear ideas about the ephemeral nature of our body and existence, but still we have to exist in this material world without being laughed at by others.. In literature, especially spiritual literature, we are taught the matters of the world and our personal relations and love are all secondary, inferior and even are sinful and form blocks in our spiritual progress.. But that is only a point of view.. We have to eat, breathe, drink, dress up, clean ourselves and our houses etc,, as long as we are alive.. The balance or the golden mean is somewhere between extreme spirituality and extreme sensuality.. The greatest of beings became great just because they knew how to balance the two..
