A monkey may love its kids but it is not evolved enough to be aware of Me, and to Love Me as the Supreme Creator. That is why I created man. In fact, I created him in My own image, blessing him with innumerable. Treasures, making it easy for him to recognize Me.’
Among the various species, the human form is not only the highest, but also the most sacred. Jantunam, Narajanmam Durlabham. The human form is very precious because it is in this form alone that an entity in Creation can truly cognise Me and become one with Me.’
‘This automatically brings Me to the Purpose of life. This purpose is very simple .From God you have come, and to God you must return; that is all.!’
‘People may shake their heads and declare, ”This is impossible! How can one make God the only object of Me? What about family and relatives? What about work and relaxation? Should life become one long, dull and monotonous pilgrimage to something we do not understand? “ Let Me answer this doubt.’
‘Arjuma, you should remember that it is I who created Society, building diversity into it Therefore, I know very well that Society needs all kinds of services for it to exist and carry on. I am not asking anyone to walk away from life. But and this is an important point, no matter who one is and to what strata one belongs, every one can follow his or her vocation in life in such a manner that life’s purpose is also duly filled.’
‘How is that? Here is the answer. First, quietly chant My name while going about your work. Let us say you are sweeping the floor. It is quite easy to sweep the floor and also chant My Name at the same time.’
By the way, there are no restrictions when it comes to Name section. I am known by many names and you can pick any one that pleases you. Just make sure that when you chant My Name, you do so with feeling and with Love in your heart.’
Some times, chanting may not be possible while you are working .For example, pretty soon you would be busy fighting. Obviously you would have to concentrate on the battle and cannot be chanting My Name continuously. But no problem. Just think of Me for a moment before you start.
Say a small prayer like, “Lord, I am going to be busy for a while. But it is Your work I shall be busy with. Please bless it and accept that as a humble offering from me to you.” After that short prayer, you can go about your business.’
When the task is completed, you can once again say a small prayer offering thanks and expressing gratitude. So, a little prayer before, working between and a short prayer on completion- a spiritual sandwich if you like! That will do the trick, converting work into worship!’
