There are two paths you could take: An easier path or a harder one. Knowing that G‑d is everything, you may wish to reject all the world stands for. Since everything is emptiness, you may deny yourself even necessities, living far and removed from the banalities of mankind, engaging only in the truths of the spirit, running from the confines of physical, mundane life. This is the easier path. On the other hand, knowing that within each thing G‑d can be found, you may be inspired to refine and elevate our world, struggling with all its facets to find their true purpose, grabbing every opportunity to squeeze out a little more of the world’s inherent good, living a spiritual life by using physical things in an enlightened way. Both paths are true paths, and great sages have trod them both. But the second, more difficult one is the one we will all have the most benefit from, especially today.
