QUESTION: I've been a spiritual seeker for most of my life. I understand that spiritual unfoldment requires you to give up all sense of "ego" self.
My biggest challenge has been to juggle the material with the spiritual. I have a burning desire to live spiritually but the biggest resistance I have is the DESIRE for wealth or supply or material comforts.

Does "being spiritual" mean I have to give up my desire to be successful and wealthy, with the material comforts I have so long desired and been driven by?
ANSWER:
Overcoming material desire and belief
