"If your spiritual practice is OK with maintaining an oppressive status quo, with screwing over your neighbor, with worrying only about yourself and not asking how you can transform our world for everyone's sake, it is not spiritual practice. It is narcissism.

"When we center other people, we serve God.

"When we try to create a world that's more just for everybody, we serve God.

"As the sage Hillel put it, 'If I am only for myself, what am I?'"
