Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 OM AMRITESWARAI NAMAH IMMORTAL LIGHT - Karmayoga Work with attentiveness (sraddha) We should never think that we are working for our boss or for the company. We should do our duty with the attitude that we are serving God, then our work will not be just putting in time for earning a salary. We will be sincere and attentive in our work. The first quality that a spiritual aspirant should have is complete sraddha - awareness and attention - for the work at hand. (Sraddha in Sanskrit means faith rooted in wisdom and experience whereas the same term in Malayalam is used to denote attentive awareness in any action. Amma often uses the term in the latter sense). We should always be ready to do extra work over and above what is required by the rules. Only such additional work, done without any desire for praise or reward, will qualify as selfless service. Placing a picture of our beloved deity or guru at our place of work in a clearly visible position will help us hold the thought of God steadily in our minds. There is no need to be ashamed of this. Our example will be a model for others. :: >From the book of Immortal Light - Advice to Householders (english translation of the original Malayalam "Amrita Jyoti") Amma Sharanam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
