11-25

The soul should be our purpose. Except that the soul
should not be a final, but only an intermediate purpose.
We should take care of our soul not for its own sake, but
for the sake of services we then perform in both worlds.
And when being useful is our goal, the Lord is our goal.
Having something for a purpose means loving it above
all else.
—Secrets of Heaven 5949:2, 3
