We, in fact,  can choose different paths and many, may seem easy and attractive, however, in order to know our real nature, we have to face a discernment process, that always goes beyond our senses.

It is not that there is a conflict, between spirit and matter, what happens is, that the tendencies of these two aspects, are very different and it is required an order and a balance, a good constituted ruling so that the spirit can really be the guide; and in this way, harmony will flourish, if not, man will only know his limits, he will lose the capacity to really experience life, because he will become slave and addicted to his senses.

The spiritual experience, lifts the matter, toward the most exquisite and fine sensibility, never denies or rejects it, but gives balance, honor, dignity and beauty,  thus, the spiritual path lifts us above everything that is changing and relative.
