"... Understand work broadly. It is the fiery tension that accompanies the work that will give the required degree of luminosity. By the degree of this luminosity one can determine the usefulness of both the work and the worker. Such a pile is a blessing for space, for it dispels the surrounding darkness. Blessed is the work that generates light, no matter who creates it. We value the glow-worm workers and help them in their bright work. We help the scientist, the engineer, and the worker in their work for the healing of the planet. According to chiaroscuro, the selection of spirits into the camp of Light takes place. You need to love work as such and you can train yourself to do any work joyfully, even boring, even uninteresting and even alien to the spirit. This is the discipline of work. Let us only protect ourselves from misanthropic work. Joy in work is an achievement of the spirit. Let us work brightly and joyfully, no matter what our work may be. It is better to live a hard life with a song than to drown in an excess of deadened satiety."
