Achieving transformation means becoming a being of sharing. Notice that this refers to an inner condition rather than any physical action or activity. It means using the tools and teachings . . . with the sincere intention to transform.

Desire to receive for ourselves alone cuts us off from the Light of the Creator and makes true fulfillment impossible. Yet self-serving desire is built into our condition as human beings. The answer lies not in ridding ourselves of all desire, but in transforming self-serving desire into desire to receive for the purpose of sharing.
