A carnal mind looks to satisfy the body of flesh, meaning pulls of the flesh, temptation. A Spiritual mind thinks to live spiritually as Christ was spiritual. Though Christ was flesh and bones, his mind was always thinking spiritually. Christ did not think carnal thoughts. He obeyed every law of God and taught his followers to do the same.
To be carnal minded is to be in the flesh, which is sinful. It is the disobedience that caused sin in the Garden of Eden. Because of sin, it fights with the spirit they are enemies. Flesh caused them to sin. To be spirit minded is to allow The Spirit of GOD which dwells in a believer to put the flesh in order and in obedience to GOD. In order to worship GOD it must be in spirit and in truth.
To be carnally minded is to be of the world and it means caring about the things of the world. To be spiritually minded is to be about the things of God and pertaining to God. It means to seek God about all your decisions in life.
