What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.

"Every creature is a word of God."

Meister Eckhart

"Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow and to love Him as they love their cow-for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort."

Meister Eckhart
