To find the balance you want, this is what you must become. You must keep your feet grounded so firmly on the earth that it's like you have 4 legs instead of 2. That way, you can stay in the world. But you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart, instead. That way, you will know God.

They say that there are three kinds of people in the world. There are people who never learn one way or another anything there are people who learn from their own mistakes, eventually and with great pain and then there are the really wise people who learn from other people's mistakes and spare themselves the suffering.
