Spirituality from a materialistic point of view:
fame, sex and money being goals of the material life...
"Vyasadev wrote all these scriptures... he wanted a name for himself, and had ideas, so he wrote the scriptures. And now we all remember him."
"Spirituality, reading, film-going, entertainment are all different tools with which a person develops his or her relationship with the other sex."
"God was invented by man to make money. Spirituality today is an industry."
Materialism from a spiritual point of view:
keeping God and God consciousness in every sphere of daily life.
"When one is emotionally detached the results of his work, he is thinking less of the consequences of his work, and can therefore concentrate more on the work alone. Giving it their best shot, and using it as an offering to God is the essence of karma yoga, as espoused in the Indian scriptures, and this is essentially what they do."
"Another question which has come up is how a spiritually inclined person can be married. Rather than being an abominable enemy to spiritual goals, having the right partner can actually be beneficial to spirituality. We are all imperfect people here, and marriage provides a guard against the biggest enemy of spirituality, lust. One is much more controlled when one is able to express his desires in a controlled manner with a wife, and focusing mainly on higher goals."
"Having children once again, is not a way of enjoying material prosperity, but is merely a way of increasing God conscious people in the world, once again a service for the Lord. "
