Materialist Vs Spiritual

I would like to share with you a excerpt of a wonderful article by Sadhguru looking at the difference between a materialistic and a spiritual person, and why spirituality is an irrevocable love affair with life.

Spiritual Process: A Love Affair with Life

Source: http://isha.sadhguru.org

"The difference between a materialistic person and a spiritual person is just this: a materialistic person is like a dog that has a bone hanging in front of it to make it win the race. The dog runs faster and faster hoping to get the bone, but this never happens. A materialistic person is constantly whipped by external situations. A spiritual person does not need any external whipping since he is doing what he really wants to do.
The spiritual process is a far more intelligent way to exist because it means you are in tune with the intelligence of the Creator. Whatever you can think up is in no way comparable to that intelligence which is creating this body, which is making a flower out of mud, mud into food, food into human body and human body into mud again; which is making the planets go round, and the galaxies function – that which is the very basis of creation. Whatever kind of very smart thoughts you come up with, whatever kind of equations or formulas you have produced are all attempts to understand the intelligence of that which is the source of creation."
