Abstract

This study envisions work as a quest for the exploration, cultivation, and culmination of spirituality. It is work that enhances the sense of wholeness, provides a venue for becoming self-actualized, and awakens the latent spirituality to manifest and blossom in its fullest glory. The workplace serves as the theater, where a person may choreograph his or her spiritual interests and energies through connecting, contributing, and cooperating with others to find meaning and self-completion. Thus, the self transforms into a spiritual-self, work becomes workship, a person moves from auto-centerism to allo-centerism and a human being transmutes to a spiritual-being. Such is the significance of work in the field of spiritual development.
