We keep ourselves busy throughout
the day. But we have never reflected on our attitude while doing our chores or
other actions during the day.
Some work is being done with joy
but some also under force, not really wanting to but having to.
From where does the “having to”
arise? There is an always a reason and once we reflect on our attitude with
which we perform daily actions, we can perhaps change every action into an
attitude of service.
This attitude of being of service
to someone or something with every action transforms it into virtually a
prayer. Your actions then acquire a new dimension, that of every action
becoming a meditation. Of course, the joy of doing things with this attitude
day by day will transform us into beings of light over a period of time.
Therefore, Attitude is most important. We fulfil social obligations as if we are doing a favour to someone… grumbling but attending the event nonetheless. How much we have to lie to ourselves! Instead, if we must go, it can be done gracefully and willingly. This is just one example. There are so many things in the day where we need to take on everything smilingly. If we just can’t, then we just don’t if it is not essential.
Just as a glass remains clear
inspite of colored liquids being poured into it, our mind should remain pure,
whatever thoughts or actions might require our presence. And one way to do all
of this, is to let happiness be our core in whatever is required of us or we
WANT to do it ourselves. It makes life simple, stress free and spiritual.
