English term or phrase: "drag and drain"
To be spiritual in the Manichaean sense means to be disdainful about and unconcerned with material things, because they are alien and constitute a drag and drain on the spirit.

Смисълът е същият като в:
"It is not going to be an easy one. But it is well worth the effort because Kashmir has been a drag and drain on the resources of both the countries." (www.southasiamonitor.org/diplomacy/2003/may/20may1.html )

а също и в:
"Sports may also be tough to get the depressed to participate in, as energy
and fatigue are often factors that continually drag and drain the depressed." (http://ivy_league0.tripod.com/rhyme_ of_the_ancient_wanderer/id64.html )
