Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 MEDITATE WHILE YOU WORK : A NEW PATH FOR A NEW AGE (34) Swami Ashokananda No, in this age we shall have to do a lot of work. A lot of work! The question is, in what spirit are we going to do that work? And here comes Sri Krishna's teaching in the Gita. It's a most profound teaching - karma yoga, the practice of detachment. And here also comes Swami Vivekananda's teaching of the worship of man as God: 'God himself has appeared as man; kneel down before Him and offer Him worship.' Every action, therefore will have to be conceived of as a form of worship. And it is this teaching I am thinking if when I say, 'Meditate while you work. Because, friends, if you really want to do anything in this spirit, then there has to be a continuous meditation on the truth of yourself and the truth of others. Only when I keep within myself a consciousness of my own true being - that I am not this body, not this mind, but the infinite, eternal Spirit - only then can I look upon you as Spirit.
