   "No matter how far the material world advances, it cannot
   establish the happiness of mankind. Only when material and
   spiritual civilization are linked and coordinated will
   happiness be assured. Then material civilization will not
   contribute its energies to the forces of evil in destroying
   the oneness of humanity, for in material civilization good
   and evil advance together and maintain the same pace."
