Arcana Coelestia # 5148
5148. 'The work of the baker' means according to every useful purpose served by that power of the senses. This is clear from the meaning of 'the work' as according to every useful purpose, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the baker' as the sensory power subject to the will part, dealt with in 5078, 5082. The reason 'the work' means a useful purpose is that this expression is used in reference to the will part, that is, to the sensory part subject to the will part. Whatever is effected by means of this and may be called 'the work' must be a useful purpose. No work of charity is anything else, for the works of charity are works performed by the will, and these are the realization of useful purposes.
