Should One Give Up Material Desires?

600.02Question: To align with the Creator’s attributes one needs to reach a very strong desire, akin to desperation. Does this mean one should completely give up his desires?

Answer: No. You simply need to make your aspiration for the Creator stronger than all your other desires.

Question: It is said that what a person strives for is what he is given. But if we strive and wish for the Creator to reveal Himself, why doesn’t He reveal Himself to us?

Answer: Because you do not desire it strongly enough yet.

Question: If the Creator is a desire for bestowal and our life is a material desire, how can they be united?

Answer: Continue on, and you will see that they unite and do not interfere with each other.
