Your chief task in life is the care of your soul. You should care for
your soul and work to improve it, and you can improve it only with love.
The meaning of life lies in two major
areas: your personal perfection
and service to other people. You
can serve while you are moving toward perfection, and you can move toward
perfection by serving people.
When I talk of moving toward perfection, I
mean moving from a material to a spiritual plane, a plane of goodness, without
time or death.
Only one step lies between a
five-year-old child and a man of my age. Between a newborn baby and a
five-year-old child lies a huge distance. Between a fetus and a newborn baby
lies an abyss; and between nonexistence and a fetus lies not only an abyss, but
a gulf that surpasses comprehension.
From childhood to death, humans, no matter their
lot in life, should strive to grow to get closer and closer to the spiritual
life. Strive to learn what God wants, and your life will become filled with freedom
and joy.
