Rather, "the sufficient reason of the human state... is to be a bridge between earth and Heaven, hence to 'realize God' to some degree or other" (Schuon).

One of the things that gets mentioned over and over is Bilbo's store of "luck". At the end, Gandalf and Bilbo are talking about all the old prophecies being fulfilled "after a fashion".
