At the earliest times when the material world had reached the peak of its development, there was a need for further development. The highest animals had reached their peak and in order not to be a standstill which will lead to decay, man arrived on the scene thus ensuring the further development of this part of creation.
This brings one to the many write ups that suggest that man is nothing, not special and that the earth will thrive better in the absence of man. Of course, these do not reflect the truth.
You and I are to be helpers in these lower parts of creation and further it as mediators of Light to all other creatures.
New knowledge available today informs us that the power of the Almighty flows through all things including man. In our case we are specially made such that we are like lenses and can gather this power and direct it specifically to achieve one aim or another. You may call this "management" as we will be held responsible for how we use this power entrusted to us.
Because man is spiritual then we may not look at management as being limited to mere earthly management of material resources. We ought to be more holistic in our approach and remember that the spiritual aspects are even more important and determines what happens in the material.
The type of noble management worthy of man's striving include:
1. having a firm volition for what is good.
2. Giving purity to our thoughts.
3. Doing what we have to do for the joy and welfare of others and not how to harm them.
4. Generally working in harmony with the order in creation by adherence to creation laws.
With these, miracles upon miracles will unfold before us visibly such that all doubts will disappear.
We will then be good managers, good householders and good helpers in creation and good warriors on the side of the Light capable of slaying all darkness!
With our strict adherence to God's laws, we become useful helpers in His Vineyard and can then be considered as children of God!
