"You live in a society where you must conduct yourselves as conscientious and responsible citizens, but do not forget to give priority to the world of thought, to an ideal, to the spirit, and to the light. Someone may say: 'I could have lived so much better if I had been more concerned with my material situation! What was I thinking when I got involved in the spiritual life?' This only proves that he has understood nothing, that he has learned nothing, and will succeed neither in the spiritual nor in the material realm. Because if he is not yet convinced of the splendour and power of the spiritual life, despite all that has been revealed to him, he will be mediocre even in society. A person who cannot make up his mind in the spiritual domain, who remains weak, hesitant, and ambivalent about it, will not accomplish much elsewhere, either. Those who accomplish something in society may not all believe in God, but they are surely more decisive, dynamic, and courageous than many spiritualists, and this explains their success."
