Will it make a sensitive man more dull if he lives in a dull surrounding? Will it increase his desires if he shapes and colours it to suit a refined taste and puts comfortable furniture inside it? Will a plain and homely hut conduce to greater so-called spirituality? Will the daily rendezvous with his higher self through meditation be adversely affected one way or the other by the amount of money and care he spends on his environment? The answers must depend on the kind of man he is, not on other people's opinions.
