AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What should be the right attitude towards work?

Work is not about reward and punishment, success and failure, they are reactions of mind.

One should put the best possible effort taking it as a means of our growth and self discovery.

During work our difficulties and possibilities emerge as we go through the various challenges. Dealing with men and materials makes us conscious of our weaknesses and strengths. Thus we discover ourselves through work.

Work also acts as a catharsis of sorts by releasing certain emotions and channelising our energies.

Finally work, done with the right attitude becomes a yoga if we do it without eyeing on the fruits, as an offering and worship of the Divine. 

Affectionately,

Alok da.

Personally, I never identified with any generation or the social milieu then or now. I believe one should think independently, reflect, discern and then make conscious choices. Society, then as well as now is always behind

Brothers don’t seek forgiveness or need to express gratitude. That you feel helped and moving on the path opening to Her Grace is reward enough. May Her Grace and Love lead you to your true goal.
