Our present-day worldview—consumptive, short term, numbers worshipping—has infected, even hijacked, most vocations today and brought that which is most sacred under the market fold, creating a world in which right livelihood (as Buddha put it) or good work (as Jesus might say) is difficult to find. Such a worldview undermines purity of intention, and hence is incompatible with a life of spiritual abundance. Ironically, it is also incompatible with material abundance, as creativity flows from pure intentions.
