In between

"Man is in the highest degree of materiality, and at the beginning of spirituality - that is to say, he is at the end of imperfection and at the beginning of perfection."
Baha'i Writings

I am familiar with the notion that the man is at the crossroad. He has the choice. He can stay at the crossroad and enjoy "freedom" but go nowhere, or he can choose a path and discover new worlds.

In this quote, the junction is not just between several religions, it's between materiality and spirituality. In fact, it's not really a junction, it sounds more like a continuous line with materiality on one end, and spirituality on the other. We're in the middle, and can choose to go either way.

What I like the most in this quote is the direct connection between:

• Materiality = Imperfection
• Spirituality = Perfection

That definitely talks to me.
