Which line in these excerpts from the play everyman implies that the common people of the time were leading a life dedicated to material gain and pleasure-seeking activities?
of ghostly sight the people be so blind,
drowned in sin, they know me not for their god.
in worldly riches is all their mind:
they fear not my righteousness, the sharp rod;
…
out of god's laws, and dreadeth not folly.
he that loveth riches i will strike with my dart,
his sight to blind, and from heaven to depart,
except that almsdeeds be his good friend,
…
for before god thou shalt answer and show
thy many bad deeds and good but a few--
how thou hast spent thy life and in what wise,

In worldly riches is all their mind.

Explanation:

This is the line that implies that the common people of the time were leading a life dedicated to material gain and pleasure-seeking activities. The line tells us that their mind (that of the common people) was dedicated to "worldly riches." In other words, people were focused on making money, as opposed to cultivating higher desires. Everyman dislikes this, and he desires a religious and spiritual salvation.
