A selfish, materialistic person works for things that he can never take with him

A spiritual person enjoys the fruits of his labor. The increasing wealth of a materialist only brings him and his society more pain and suffering because he tries by all means to impose his will upon others and use them for his own pleasures and purposes, thus evoking reactions from them. Such a person may create temporary success for himself, but he also creates continuous involvements and clashes with problems and with other people’s  interests.

A selfish, materialistic person works for things that he can never take with him, but a spiritual person uses matter and material success to accumulate things he can take with him on his “journey.”
