The spiritual world to the Material world is like Software to Hardware. One can see hardware and cannot see software but feel the software. The software is the one that runs the hardware. The software adds value to the device, just like an Android OS to your gadget. We see that software is priced higher than hardware in some cases. Hardware, once designed, can be manufactured with automation just like living beings born with reproduction. Whereas in the case of software, many minds continually struggle to make it better day by day. Just as software is superior to hardware, the Spiritual world is superior to the Material world.

The spiritual is something that is felt by the Soul, like psychological feelings of happiness or sorrow. The material is something like gold which may not always give joy. Since feelings are the one which makes one happy or sad, the spiritual world is superior to the material world. The material world cannot buy happiness, whereas a spiritually inclined scholar is always delighted.

The spiritual world revolves around The Almighty and our Soul, which is eternal. The material world revolves around relations, wealth, and social status, which are transient. Thus, the spiritual world gives eternal bliss, and the material world gives sorrow. The body is perishable, whereas the Soul is immortal. The soul is the software that runs the body.
