“The path of ECK ought to bring a zest for life. Each activity contains within it the seed of a spiritual lesson. We do not make spiritual progress by doing as little as possible in life. The individual must make an honest evaluation of his talents, interests, and training
to decide what goals he wishes to strive for...
“We must first give to life if we expect life to give anything in return. This is the divine law. Life presents a whole series of opportunities. These let us tap into the God Force
for aid. This is achieved through the regular practice of the Spiritual Exercises of ECK.”
Harold Klemp, A Modern Prophet Answers Your Key Questions about Life, pp. 227-228
