Allusion to Matthew 25
The meaning of this poem is that man is supposed to serve God and please him(God both not need either man's work or his own gifts, who best bear his mild yoke they serve him best.) In Matthew 25 it talks about a man entrusting three servants with his wealth. The man with the least amount of money buried his (and the one talent which is death to hide). But the other two put their money to work and gained twice as much as the had. The man was very proud of the two who doubled theirs but was disappointed with the one who hid his talents.

I really enjoyed reading your post. It made an immense amount of sense and cleared some things up for me that I was wondering about. I found it enlightening and I'm pretty glad that we were on the same thinking page :)
