I struggle with as well at times. The way I try to see it these days is that my spiritual and physical lives are one and the same. If all things are one, the dualism of spiritual vs. mundane is a false one. In living our day to day lives we have experiences and we process them. This is spiritual work, as mundane as the experiences may be.
What would a more spiritual life look like? What would you do with the time away from obligations? Would you be afforded the same opportunities to be of service?
I won't deny that the obligations of daily life can certainly be an impediment when it comes to self-knowledge, but this is the life we have. Acceptance of that has helped me some.. That doesn't mean I don't desire a different socio-economic reality with more free time, but attachment to an idealized lifestyle feels counterproductive.
Just some thoughts.
