The Secret of Happy Life
Lies in Doing
Works with Utmost Sincerity
Works with Utmost Sincerity
Every
one longs for and labours to experience happiness in life. But,
one does not know where happiness lies or the source from which
it could be derived. Even though God shows us the path, we are unable
to sight it and experience the natural in-built springs of joy.
For this, Baba showed a simple and natural method. We must make
God know every action we do. In every day life, we do several "works"
for livelihood. Tilling land, cooking food, attending to house-hold
chores and upbringing the children etc. If we feel, they are being
done for the sake of someone else, they look tough and burdensome.
However, without selfish attitude, if we treat them as a responsibility
to accomplish, they do not appear tough to us.
Whatever work we are entrusted with has to be done. If we attend
to the work and offer it at the altar of God, the work does not
look tough or strenuous. When there is no strain, we need not feel
sick or tired. Same work and same effort, but one works joyously.
Our thought, word and deed get integrated as our head, heart and
hand get involved in the work. Transparency and purity mark our
deeds if they reflect our thoughts. It is Divinity. Joy wells up
within us because the Ever-Joyous Baba dwells within us and we can
joyously journey through life.
