‘Our inner life is constantly deepened when we send will \u2014 our own inherent force \u2014 into our thinking, when we permeate our thinking with will. We bring will into thinking and thereby attain freedom. As we gradually perfect our actions we finally succeed in sending thoughts into these actions; we irradiate our actions \u2014 which proceed from our will \u2014 with thoughts. On the one side (inwards) we live a life of thought; we permeate this with the will and thus find freedom. On the other side (outwards) our actions stream forth from our will, and we permeate them with our thoughts.<\/h2>\n

But by what means do our actions evolve to greater perfection? To use an invariably controversial expression \u2014 How do we achieve greater perfection in our actions? We achieve this by developing in ourselves the force which can only be designated by the words:\u00a0devotion to the outer world.\u00a0\u2014 The more our devotion to the outer world grows and intensifies, the more does this outer world stir us to action. But it is just through unfolding devotion to the outer world that we succeed in permeating our actions with thoughts. What, in reality,\u00a0is\u00a0devotion to the outer world? Devotion to the outer world, which pervades our actions with thoughts, is nothing else than\u00a0love.’<\/p>\n
