Life is spiritual. The spirit is indivisible, and it is also invisible. It therefore does not satisfy man’s craving to experience it, to possess it and to express it. Therefore we see in him a savage compulsion to materialize this spirit. This idolatry of matter is seen in our veneration of someone who is able “to materialize things” by a wave of his hand. But, our own life is full of such materializations, the whole world is the materialization of the spirit, all the machines and all the weapons have been “materialized” by a wave of someone's hand.
Life is an art. Spiritual life or sadhana is still greater art. Every stroke of the brush matters very much - we should carefully plan it, and do every action after great thought. Thought, word and deed must be delicate and purposeful.
