Necessary and Excessive

549.02Question: There is a concept of “necessary and excessive.” How can we determine what is necessary for us in life?

Answer: What is necessary differs for each person, so you must define it for yourself.

If your primary goal in this life is to achieve the spiritual world, then everything else will be used solely for what is essential to live normally and decently but without excess. This way, you will properly allocate your energy and efforts to attain the Creator.

However, this is a decision only you can make and no one else. It is your life, your soul.
