Finding the work you love and loving the work you find

Pinky's picture

If work is a burden, only then it looks like a work.  If work comes out of love, it becomes worship.  Then there is no need for any meditation.  It is enough.  The work itself becomes a meditation.  You are so deeply in it that the mind stops.

While working, work so totally that you forget the whole world, so that only the work remains not even you, you are also forgotten. Deepdown you are so involved that the work becomes a great meditation, a great transformation.  If you are doing a certain thing as work, it will exhaust you.  If you are doing the same thing as play, it will refresh you.  It is not the work,it is the attitude!!!!!!

A non-doer is a flowing person, alive.  A non-doer doesnot mean that he doesnot do anything.  Rather, he never thinks "I am doing it".  A non-doer will do many things and will not be tired because there will be no tension.  He will do many things and will not accumulate any ego because he is not the doer.  Things are just happening.

Love comes first.  The present moment is all here.  Tomorrow is too far away to worry about.  Well,have you ever met anybody who really love the works they do?  Most people seem to be in it for the money or more accurately for the freedom and comfort that the money povides.  The result is that people learn to work for money................but never learn to have money work for them.

Welcome.

First of all, let me say a big welcome. Smile

The gist of what you said, is quite simple - do the work, and be happy with it.

Most times, it is easy to do.  And sometimes, it is not.  There seem to be a lot to do, and you will not be doing one work alone - you will be doing a lot of tasks, and this multi-tasking leads to a lot of stress.  I am not saying, one should not be produtive and do multi-task - and I am not even saying that we should just focus on one job at a time alone. It is striking the right balance between productivity and perfection.

And as some say, it is all in mind.

Thanks bhaiya....

yup.... its all about being happy with what  you get to do.  But is it that we always do things that we yearn for or do it because we can't choose?Undecided

Choice

If we can do a job we want to, then there is no friction.

It is about how we take the job over which we have no choice.
