Title: Bhaktananda: How to Work Properly Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on May 08, 2013 10:06 pm My father taught me to work but not to love it~Lincoln. Loving work or hating it both are bad. Work for God. Dharma=that which we should do. We are attracted to our karma, to work out our past karma. The first principle of work is concentration. Master said to lose yourself in it. Talk to yourself: " I am now putting scotch tape on the envelope." etc. The second principal is willingness. It makes time fly like nothing else. It is necessary in order to be an instrument of God. God is power. To be in tune with him we must be powerful individuals. You need to have a 'push' within to produce work and satisfy the company. The third is being enthusiastic. Chant to God. It is the way. Remember who your employer is: God You should remember God is teaching you obedience therough the instruction of your supervisor. St. Francis worked 3 years in a leper colony. Babaji cleaned the cup and blanket of Lahiri Mahasaya for 35 years. The saints don't differentiate between important and unimportant work. Put some symbol in your desk or in your pocket or something to remind you to practice the presence. We forget so easily! Read a page of the SRF lessons every day. Leave them open where you can see them. |
