A materially-minded person finds pleasure only in something which he or she actually experiences. The spiritual person will thank God even at the sight of another person's object. Rather, he transforms his friend's material pleasure into spiritual pleasure for himself. A materially-minded person only sees the creation, while a spiritually-inclined person sees the splendor of the Creator through the creation. It is obvious that the spiritual riches accruing from the discovery of the Creator cannot be gained through objects he created.
If you live in the materialistic culture, you will be living just like animals. Your mind will become like that of an animal. If you take material things as a matter of necessity, your intellectual development will begin to unfold. You will be unlimited.
When I was born, I was an average child. My family members used to call me absent-minded. When I started studying English at an advanced age, someone said that an old parrot cannot learn to speak.
Someone commented that my Urdu language too was incorrect. The image I had in my environment was that I was an average person.
No human being is average. Every person is God's masterpiece. But the price you have to pay is that you must not live in materialistic culture, family culture and desire culture. You have to live in intellectual culture.
You should have a great desire to unfold your potential. Then every man will become a superman. Potentially, every man is superman, be it a man or a woman. The materialistic culture is a killer.
