Do not work for earthly rewards

 


Rudolf Steiner:  "the tragedy of modern life, by which people will gradually be compelled — by a compulsion which will not be easily accepted — to divert man's attention from the results of work to the work itself. One must find joy in work, saying to oneself: the external rewards of work in the present epoch serve the purposes of death and not of creative life. If one is unwilling to further the forces of death, one cannot work with modern techniques, for today man is the servant of the machine. He who rejects the machine simply wishes to return to the past."
