What Is Spiritual Work

All work is spiritual. Life itself is spiritual work. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are here in time and space to realize ourselves, to become what we truly are, and to serve as a medium for the evolution of consciousness. Even so it is better to be aware that we are indeed spiritual beings with a potential for evolution than to be merely at the mercy of chance or destiny. It is better to gain higher knowledge, by which we realize that suffering is the outcome of attachments and delusions and that the only "sins" are ignorance of the truth and lack of love. It is important to know our true purpose, which is to manifest the glory of the Absolute and to express our particular soul nature and our special talents. It helps to know that we can indeed be joyful, grow whole, gain access to our higher faculties, and enjoy a larger life full of growth, potential and energy.
