“One of the unfortunate consequences of the intellectualization of man's spiritual life was that the word "spirit" was lost and replaced by mind or intellect, and that the element of vitality which is present in "spirit" was separated and interpreted as an independent biological force. Man was divided into a bloodless intellect and a meaningless vitality. The middle ground between them, the spiritual soul, in which vitality and intentionality are united, was dropped.” MenMindSoulSpiritualSpiritLostForceUnitedMiddleElementsConsequenceIndependentIntellectDividedMeaninglessSpiritual LifeUnfortunateReplacedVitalityMiddle GroundIntentionalitySpiritual Soul Book:Writings on religion Source: Writings on religion
“To organize work in such a manner that it becomes meaningless, boring, stultifying, or nerve-racking for the worker would be little short of criminal; it would indicate a greater concern with goods than with people, an evil lack of compassion and a soul-destroying degree of attachment to the most primitive side of this worldly existence.” PeopleLittlesSoulWould BeEvilSidesExistenceCompassionGreaterDegreesConcernWorkersBoringCriminalsAttachmentGoodsNervesDestroyingMeaninglessPrimitiveOrganizeWorldlySmall Is BeautifulLack Of Compassion Book:SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL Source: SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL
