“There are three forces–of body, mind and feeling.
Unless these are together, equally developed and
harmonized, a steady connection cannot be made with a
higher force. Everything in the Work is a preparation
for that connection. That is the aim of the Work. The
higher energy wishes to but cannot come down to the
level of the body unless one works. Only by working can
you fulfill your purpose and participate in the life of
the cosmos. This is what can give meaning and significance
to your life. Otherwise, you exist only for yourself,
egoistically and there is no meaning to your life.”
Jeanne de Salzmann, quoted in ‘Heart Without Measure’
