Work, physical
Its use for the spiritual life
November 11th 2016
The conversion of movement into heat and light and the conversion of light back into heat are laws that are particularly well-known and applied in physics. Only lazy spiritual people are ignorant of them. They are happy to meditate, study and reflect without giving a thought to converting this light into heat – feelings – and then into movement – action. If you ask them to do physical work, some of them are shocked. How can you ask them to do something so far beneath them? Well, that’s where they are mistaken!
Physical work is essential for each person’s evolution. Even if nothing or nobody makes you do it, you should make yourself do it, lest your physical and even psychic health suffer. If only you realized how valuable physical activity is, even for bringing light into one’s consciousness and progressing spiritually, you would make sure you always had something to clean, to wash, to plant, to sew or to make.
