How can you claim to be having an experience in the matter-realm whilst not being attached to it, and so forming these ideals as ownership?
We are emotional beings, and that's what emotional beings do. They get attached to things. But spirituality, that requires non-attachment, and that is very very hard. But at least we know the situation.
If you take the matter world as a playground, it is easier to not being attached to matter itself.
Like a game, if you play game of go, or chess you are not the game, you are playing the game.
For us it is trickery because we are playing a very immersive game here in the world of matter.
But as you said, knowing the situation helps.
