The belt of labor has to be drawn more tightly, and this should be regarded not as a misfortune but as a means of attaining the next step. The plowman who directs his energy to transforming the earth’s crust is often able to extend his hand to the Rishi himself, the Rishi who watches over humanity, blessing it with His thought. . . .
And since the temple is in spirit, the justification is in spirit, and the victory is in spirit, you can adorn life with a splendor that is constant and true. Get used to the beauty of labor and the creativity of thought, for with them we shall conquer darkness. (Heart (opens in new tab), 80)
