Work is Worship
It’s an old adage that we hear before we knew the hidden meaning in these words. When we are young all we know is that people do work to earn money to sustain a better living while worship is one that people go into shrines to pay their respect to Thy Almighty. They were thought, understood and considered as two separate realms.
But with time, we all need to realize that it is interconnected through deepest understanding and belief in a super power. For some that power can be in the form of light, for others it can be a piece of stone while for many it can be different idols. Whatever be it, we surrender to attain the divine bliss of this supreme power.
How do we do that? Its here that I feel the adage hold its true meaning. It’s through our daily work that we get connected to the supreme. Since the day dawns, do not let it go away whiling your time into thoughts, instead engage yourself into activity that will help not only in earning money to sustain yourself but will also provide some mental fodder.
Each activity must be done with sincerity, honesty and integrity. From putting the clothes in the drier, meeting your important clients to taking your child to the park; inculcate the habit of working the moment with love and care. In no time you will realize that being actively engaged in every moment will help you sleep well at night so that the next day dawns with renewed zest and vigor. You do not need to pop up pills to de-stress yourself, instead nurture the habit of few minutes of meditation that will help to detoxify your mind and cleanse your system for a more productive day.
Wherever you are, that place is the holy shrine, with whomever you exchange greetings, words or work in unison is the creations of The Supreme Power. So, never disrespect them or belittle their thoughts, instead pass a smile to win a heart.
It is through sincere work that you sing the song of praise for your inner self. It is through this connection that you can lead a meaningful life for in it you will find the essence of soul.
Let the new vision of life be to connect to your inner being through Work!!!
