Man today is like a horseman riding two horses at the same time. Man aspires for the Divine, but at the same time, yearns for worldly pleasures.
Man forgets that the Creator contains the Creation. Forgetting this truth, man runs after the phenomenal world. Man behaves like a fool, who cries for butter while having milk in his hand.
