One can certainly live a spiritual life while living in the world if one is anchored in wisdom.
But if anyone tells you that there is no conflict between spirituality and materialism or consumerism, know for sure that they haven't a clue of what they are talking about. There is a difference between materialism and using just as much material as is needed for a comfortable life, between consumerism and consuming what is good for us in the right quantity. This difference is critical to understand.
Materialism and consumerism hook you to the world, which is ephemeral, fleeting. We are here today, gone tomorrow.
Stay hooked to the spirit and enjoy the world sensibly while you are here. If you get this, you are on to something! Something precious, something beautiful!
