People today have
made their lives difficult, because they are not satisfied with a few
things, but are constantly chasing after more and more material goods.
But those who would like to live a genuine spiritual life must first of
all be satisfied with a few things. When their life is simplified,
without too many concerns and nuisances, not only will they be liberated
from the worldly spirit, they will also have plenty of time available
for spiritual things. Otherwise they will tire themselves out by trying
to follow the fashion of the times; they will lose their serenity and
will gain only great anxiety."
