reconciling mysticism & career

[Joshuas]

Should you pursue the urge to become a mystic, while not having a job, career or company build up that is aligned with your deeper values?

A complementary question — Should you prioritise building and running a career that is aligned with your deeper values over your spiritual inclinations?

Or am I fooling myself altogether here with these two questions, and is the only way to get it right finding a way to bring them together? And if this is the case, what would be your advice on working on that constructively over a long period?
