Have Progressive Spiritual Growth While Skillfully Performing Duties and Accomplishing Purposes of Value<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Knowing we will be on this planet for only a few decades, we should think about why we are here and what we should do to prepare for what is next.\u00a0 To delay or avoid nurturing spiritual growth by allowing attention to be distracted from important matters and neglecting metaphysical studies and meditation practice is a mistake.\u00a0 Accurate knowledge of higher realities enables us to think rationally and live effectively.\u00a0 Self-knowledge enables us to overcome or transcend all limitations.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a fundamental purpose of our lives.\u00a0 To know it, we must understand where life comes from and where it is going, look beyond our immediate goals to what we ultimately want to accomplish and consider life\u2019s highest potential for development.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
