WORK IS A MEANS IS TO EXPERIENCE “ANTAR YAMI “,“THE TREE OF LIFE” and it is not an end in itself. “WHEN I MAKE WORK AS WORSHIP IS THEN THAT I START WORSHIPPING MYSELF”.
Family and Work One of the major obstacles for people is ATTACHMENT to work. Many have been working hard and enduring hardships, but are so preoccupied which affects our loved ones and our relationships have lost the initial fervour. We end up excelling at work but our families and people around us are suffering and we might have released this. We might be successful in the eyes of the world, and have a great reputation, but at the inner level our soul remains unfulfilled because of a lack of relationship with “ANTAR YAMI”, “THE INNER BEING” which is in the core being. Further we are called to love our family members, but one cannot place them above “THE INNER BEING”. If we are attracted to them, then instinctively without our knowing, we will place them above “THE TREE OF LIFE”,”ANTAR YAMI” . But if “ANTAR YAMI” is given the priority then we will be able to love them genuinely. Once the person has an experience of “ANTAR YAMI” “THE DEEPEST POINT” is “THE HIGHEST POINT” “AWAKENING” the sixth sense one will be a source of positivity for the family and others as well. The family or community is together JOURNEYING INWARD to experience “ANTAR YAMI” ,”THE TREE OF LIFE”.
Work adds to layers of Self-love
Great work without a relationship with oneself or “THE TREE OF LIFE” is not worth anything in the long run. Apart from the experience of “ANTAR YAMI” no work or relationship can fulfil us. And once we experience “THE TREE OF LIFE” in the deepest center of the soul,”THE DEEPEST POINT” is “THE HIGHEST POINT” “AWAKENING” the sixth sense will also add to our joy, but the reverse is not true. Work cannot be worshipped. Worship belongs to THE TRUTH which is embedded in THE DEEP WITHIN every person, who strengthens and guides a person. We cannot worship the work of the hands as they add to the layers of Self- Love. If we are constantly doing the works we are taking justification in our works and building a false wall around us.
Talents are to be used with great love for the service of humanity. Most of all without expecting anything in return. If the flag of humility is held high, then we will be thankful for the smallest of things in our life. And we begin to offer thanks to “ANTAR YAMI” “THE TREE OF LIFE” for things which we had taken for granted.
Work cannot be Career
Again, work cannot be made a ‘career’. Today’s generation, especially the youth, are caught up in the building of their careers through work. The moment I make work my career, I begin to give it top-most priority in my life, and slowly, without my realising it, I make it my god. Work is not the ‘goal’ of ‘finality’ of my life.
And my work is a means for me to experience “THE TREE OF LIFE” from which sprouts from “ANTAR YAMI” , “THE INTERIOR SPRING”. It is not an ‘end’ in itself. The moment I make it my career, I begin to make work an end in itself. Further if my work is taking me away from “THE INNER BEING” and not bringing me closer to “THE TREE OF LIFE” in the deepest center of the soul to experience “THE INTERIOR SPRING”,”THE DEEPEST POINT” is “THE HIGHEST POINT” “AWAKENING” awakening the sixth sense then it is not work at all.
The ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ of work, is the hand of “THE TREE OF LIFE” which helps a person grow. When a branch is being pruned small chunks are being shredded and when big chunks are falling off, the sculptor is being chiselled, thus the learning curve continues throughout our Life. This is to be taken in the right stride and all WORK falls into place if our plans are sprouting from “THE INNER BEING”.
Personal Gain
If do not work for consolations and satisfactions, name, fame, power and position and be on guard always . Then this attitude towards work will bring, consolations and satisfaction will never be lacking. And incase we don’t have that attitude the moment this happens we are already enslaved by work. Work which should have been a means of one’s liberation, work now enslaves the person.
The person who is following THE PATH sees work as a sheer means of Liberation, a means to experience the THE DEEP and path towards self realisation which JOURNEYS to LIFE which is liberating. Clothing ourselves with LOVE of “THE INNER BEING”, “ANTAR YAMI” harmonizes our life from every angle.
Universal Gain
Also one should note that it is not the finishing of the task of the end result that is important. But what matters most is being present, participation in every moment of a walk, by treating others well while doing the task with great love. And thus the end is already achieved the moment we participate fully by doing a task with great love which is more important than the end result.
And if this is the attitude of every human being then it will change the world as such tasks transform the task into the work of “ANTAR YAMI” due to the presence of “THE TREE OF LIFE”.
One has to realise that the work that we do is the work for “ANTAR YAMI” “THE INNER BEING” wants Success to reap its harvest on you. And the one who allows the hands of “ANTAR YAMI” in his, her, their work, the person will not be afraid of the so-called failures in the eyes of the world, but these will be moments of experience and liberation. For the one who is rooted in the “ANTAR YAMI” there are no failures. Momentarily it may appear as a failure in the eyes of the world, but with Realisation and self knowledge there will be Liberation . Also because the person is rooted in Love/ Charity which will help the person to overcome all momentary criticisms of the world. Only the person who loves will have the capacity to transcend the so-called worst failures which are nothing but moments where one will experience “RIVERS IN THE DESERT”.
Be on guard, stand firm and faith, be courageous and be strong. Your every act should be done with love.
