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.
