Seek the truly practical material life
But seek it so that it does not numb you to the
spirit which is active in it.Seek the spirit, but seek it not in passion for the super-sensible.
Seek it because you wish to apply it selflessly in
practical life, in the practical world.Turn to the ancient principle:
Matter is never without spirit; spirit is never without matter.In such a way that we say:
We will do all things in the light of the spirit,
And we will so seek that light of the spirit that it
evokes warmth for us in our practical activities.
— Rudolf Steiner
