The point of all of the effort, all of the devotion of time and emotion we give to our spiritual quest, is not primarily our own satisfaction or enlightenment. We are — most of us anyway — not destined to be sources of light, but simply more like mirrors. Our purpose and goal should be that we become reflections of the light that shines in Grace. The point of our work is to make us useful to the unfolding creation; we are the sunlight and the rain that make the garden grow. We are the salt of the earth.
