"Some men's lives are solely occupied with the things of this world; their minds are so circumscribed by exterior manners and traditional interests that they are blind to any other realm of existence, to the spiritual significance of all things. They think and dream of earthly fame, of material progress. Sensuous delights and comfortable surroundings bound their horizon, their highest ambitions center in successes of worldly conditions and circumstances... Like the animal, they have no thought beyond their own physical well- being." These live at the lowest level. Paris Talks Page 98 to 9 . (78:4)
