Q: Do material and spiritual elevation go hand in hand?

M: Together, yes; they can. Because when we are wise, when we rediscover our wisdom again, then of course we are more intelligent, more able and more clear in everything we do in life. And of course we will be more successful, so our material success will also go along with the spiritual progress. Sometimes after we're enlightened we don't really care so much about material gain, so we don't bother to exercise our wisdom. But we may do so and become successful in both worlds.
