MEDITATE WHILE YOU WORK : A NEW PATH FOR A NEW AGE (15)

Swami Ashokananda

 

(continued)

 

Now, mind that, I am not against mediatation and concentration.

I am not saying that you should only work and not meditate. What

I want is to speak to you of working in such a way that it will

become as good as meditation, as effective and as productive as

meditation. I am not against your doing other spiritual practices

as well. But as I have already indicated, very few people are fit

to spend their whole day in different spiritual practices one after

the other. If one tries to do that, within a short time he will

find that his body or his mind cannot contain the impact of it.

Of course, one should do as much as he can; if he likes to

meditate a little, morning and evening and so on, he should do it.

If he likes to do ritualistic worship, he should do that; if he

wants to sing devotional songs or pray to the Lord, he should

so those things. Or if his teacher says that this or that

practice is the thing for him, he should do it.
