Если ты не возьмёшь верх над вещами/миром, то вещи/мир овладеют тобой

things of the world - это, похоже, что-то из библии.
мирские дела/желания/проблемы/заботы...(?)

Here, we have two meanings of RISE ABOVE: the first is the figurative meaning of not letting things affect you to the point of becoming emotional and not being able to function logically. You have to rise above the THINGS OF THE WORLD meaning the constant string of problems and challenges that life throws at us. If we don't make an effort to not let them affect us emotionally, they'll [second meaning of RISE ABOVE:] engulf us and rise over our heads like flood waters, eventually drowning us.
