The spiritual life and the life in the world can, and must actually go together.

Photo: In this beautiful picture, Lord Shiva meditates, as Devi parvati happily arranges flowers for worship! This has a very deep symbolism: The spiritual life and the life in the world can, and must actually go together. The Grihasta ashram is as important as the bhakti bhava or dhyan bhav. To exclude spirituality from the normal ife is an error, but it is also an error to disregard life on this planet in this body that Nature has granted you. In reality, neither world of existence is exclusive of the other! Such is the wisdom declared by the Upanishadic Rishis. Aum Namah shivaya! jai parvati Ma!
