To Be – Quote of the Week – Evelyn Underhill

March 29, 2014 By Jean Wise

Be - healthy spirituality.org

We mostly spend life conjugating three verbs:

to Want,

to Have

and to Do.

Craving, clutching and fussing, on the material, political, social, emotional, intellectual, even on the religious plane,

we are kept in perpetual unrest:

forgetting that none of these verbs have any ultimate significance,

except so far as they are transcended by and included in, the fundamental verb,

to Be:

and that Being,

not wanting, having and doing,

is the essence of the spiritual life.

Evelyn Underhill
