Tov -  but thought it appropriate to note that it runs counter to another
famous peshat. As per Pesachim (68b), on Shavuos - yom shenitna bo Torah -
everyone agrees "ba'inan nami lakhem", which is commonly explained that
Kabbalat Hatorah cannot be only marked by ruchniyus, but rather must be
integrated into the gashmiyus.

 

Nothing wrong. They came har Sinai and turned their backs on worldliness
which is pure worldliness. After getting the torah, they could now sanctify
that worldliness. In such a case, it’s no longer worldliness but becomes
torah. This is signified in the two tablets of stone. If there’s torah that
it is holy, is light, and even floats by itself. However, if the torah words
disappear, fly up to Heaven to remain there, all you have is weighted down
worldliness, becomes shattered just as one’s life becomes so.

This is not derush, but halakha, as I refer you to OH 131 :1 where there is
a mandate to make all your worldliness holy but having the proper kavanot.
