But man is called to lovingly penetrate everything that is on his planet, to take the planet with him and to redeem it. The redemption of the inner being cannot take place without the redemption of that which is outside of us. Man must redeem his planet together with himself. The redemption can only be when man puts his forces into the cosmos, he must not only become a redeemed, but he must become a redeemer.
Rudolf Steiner
