Anybody denouncing the world for god, is imperfect.,...the problem is that in India leaving wordly things is treated as a true sign of great soul
Shri Krishna never said we should denounce the world...rather he encouraged to take part in his lila
Tantra that way is more perfect than any other school..as it takes world as a body of the supreme, and does not teach us to be cowards and run away
Swamis are imperfect...as they teach others to leave material and themselves enjoy all the comforts of the world

They don't separate material world from spiritual world but they show a real combination and use of both. When nature made the combination of body and soul by giving birth to us, who are they to separate?

Lord Sri Krishna speaks about the spiritual world and material world in the eighth chapter of Bhagavad-gita
Verses 15 & 16 below, speaks about material and spiritual world.
"After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogis in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection".
"From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one who attains to My abode, O son of Kunti, never takes birth again".
The following Verses 21 and 22 speaks about spiritual world.
"Yet there is another unmanifest nature, which is eternal and is transcendental to this manifested and unmanifested matter. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is".
"That which the Vedantists describe as unmanifest and infallible, that which is known as the supreme destination, that place from which, having attained it, one never returns—that is My supreme abode".
Padma Purana speaks of two different worlds, viz., material world which is eka-pada-vibhuti(one fourth of the opulence of Lord) and the tri-pada-vibhuti(three fourth) spiritual world.
“‘Between the spiritual and the material world is a body of water known as the river Viraja. This water is generated from the bodily perspiration of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is known as Vedanga. Thus the river flows.’
“‘Beyond the river Viraja is the spiritual nature, which is indestructible, eternal, inexhaustible and unlimited. It is the supreme abode, consisting of three fourths of the Lord’s opulences. It is known as paravyoma, the spiritual sky.’
Laghu-bhagavatamrta mentions as follows,
“‘Because it consists of three fourths of the Lord’s energy, the spiritual world is called tri-pad-bhuta. Being a manifestation of one fourth of the Lord’s energy, the material world is called eka-pada.’

Because there are no divisions to Self (God), and Self is all there is. This is the meaning of, "All-in-all."
Everything physical is concentrated thought. We form matter, (the world, the physical universe), through our beliefs, emotions and expectations. We do this individually, and as one.
We have been called "gods in chemical clothes". Whatever God is, we are as well. God is All That Is.
