Read the following passage carefully :
Work is something that we do, all through life. More important than the work we do, is our
attitude to it. From the moment we are born till we die, work is being done all the time,
whether we like it or not, whether we want it or not. Even sitting idle or lying in bed is an
activity, a work. Breathing, digesting, sleeping, waking up, blinking, keeping up our muscles
tone, the slow process of formation of new cells and destruction of old ones – all these
activities are work that goes on, with or without our consent. It is only in death that work
truly ceases. Many people feel that they would like to retire at the age of 60 and do
‘nothing’. But as long as we are alive, it is impossible to do ‘nothing’.
2. Having agreed that work is unavoidable, we need to look at how we do the work. Whether it
is a child who is playing, a mother who is feeding her child, a house help who is sweeping
the floor, or a physician who is saving lives – what is important in all these activities is our
attitude. Are you doing your work with a happy, creative, cheerful outlook, or are you
constantly complaining and wishing for ‘something’ else to do? Because if you are miserable
doing the work allotted to you, rest assured that you’ll remain miserable in whatever work
you do.
3. Since work and activity is unavoidable, why not do it with pleasure, with interest, with
involvement, with joy? What is in our hands, is how to react to the work that we do. When
you are, standing in the queue to pay your child’s fees, or waiting at a government office to
renew your licence or passport, you have only two choices : either spend the time relaxing
and making friends with others standing in line, or spend the time irritated, angry and
frustrated.
4. What is worship? It is offering something to God. Here, we are offering our work to God. We
normally work only for our own benefit, for our own profits. When we are ready to give up
this benefit, this profit, and accept anything and everything that comes our way as a blessing
from God, then, our work becomes worship.
