Question: I am growing and developing as a person on the animal level, and my animal desires are constantly growing. But if I engage in spirituality, my spiritual desires also constantly grow. In the end, I can’t focus on anything, and I keep getting pulled from one thing to another. How can I balance spiritual and material life?

Answer: This is not balanced by us. A person should take care of their animal life reasonably, and dedicate all the rest of the time and effort to spiritual attainment, which means striving for connection with others in the ten to become more like the Creator.

I can’t tell a woman that she must get married and have children, that is her personal decision. As for men, they are, in principle, more obligated to be married than women. We strongly encourage men to marry because they become more stable, diligent, and consistent. But a woman is stable on her own, so there aren’t such strict requirements for her.

Ultimately, whether or not a woman marries is her choice. But the goal is to devote as much time as possible to spirituality, and to material things, let me quote the original source, only the necessary amount.

And add a bit more joy to your life; this is very necessary. If you don’t feel joy in life, it means you are blaming the Creator for your discomfort.
