Mysteria, a poor paraphrase of what my Teacher would say goes something like this: 'Distinguish between what is real, i.e., permanent, and what is unreal, i.e., temporary, phenomenal. Seek that which is real. Focus on that which is real. Give the unreal only as much attention is required to sustain the vehicle, i.e., the body/mind complex. Keep your vision always focused on God.' Something like that. That will yield treasures (spiritual) and not trinkets (worldly objects. )Samhain_Moon

I have noticed that to settle for less causes much distress...
