NO DOUBT, WORK IS 100% WORSHIP!

From my bed, I thought lazily, "Let me take the day off!" Instantly, various Proverbs/Quotes started pouring in my ears..

• 'No bees, no honey; no work, no money!' - Proverb
• 'The lazy bones should work twice!' - South American proverb
• 'A man grows most tired while standing still!' - Chinese proverb
• 'Work keeps at bay, three great evils.. Boredom, vice and need!' --Unknown
• 'Mankind's worst enemy is fear of work!' - Unknown
• 'When I had money, every one called me brother!' - Polish proverb

Taken a back, I pulled up from bed and declared, "OK.. Ready for 8 hrs!" Again few proverbs/quotes poured in..

• 'I have 2 Masters, Devil and God. I work for Devil until lunch and follow the Lord!' - Gypsy Proverb
• 'You will never plough a field if you only turn it over in your mind!' - Irish proverb
• 'When I was a young man I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. I didn't want to be a failure, so I did ten times more work!' - G B Shaw
• 'It's quite possible to work without results but never will there be results without work!' - Unknown

Not able to get off from those Messages, I asserted.. "OK.. OK.. Promise more than 8 hrs!" Instantly I heard..

• 'Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but the seeds you plant!' - Robert Louis Stevenson

That message went deep into my heart and I modified my say, "Promise quality work more than 8 hrs a day!" In no time, one more quote was heard..

• 'Try not to become a person of success but try to become a person of value!' -- Albert Einstein

Shaken up again, I instantly changed it. "I'll do that quality work in shorter time!" The Great Entrepreneur was smiling at me saying,

• 'It's not the Employer who pays the wages. Employers handle the money. It's the customer who pays the wages!' -- Henry Ford

Felt bad having ignored the fact therein and I corrected myself. "I'll do the highest quality work and wait till my customer accepts it!" I was gently reminded at that point of time thru' the famous quote..

• 'Know what you own and know why you own it!' -- Peter Lynch

I got it and corrected fully myself. "I'll do all that work sincerely and impress my customer to get future orders for my company!" Still, I was not freed and another gentle reminder followed..

• 'Money grows on trees of persistence!' -- Japanese Proverb

"Thanks for the Great Sayings.. I understood fully what a sincere work is and I'll do my work to get future orders keeping off rivals from my customer!"

Great Personalities never left me there and thru' their Sayings showed me where I can improve beyond!

• 'Chose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life!' -- Confucius
• 'Pleasure in job puts perfection in work!' -- Aristotle
• 'May the work of your hands be the gratitude and reverence to the human condition!' -- MK Gandhi

Finally, as I bowed down to Great Personalities for awakening me and putting me into the best mode of working with total dedication, right at that moment Sloka 10, Chapter III, Bhagavad Gita was heard on distant loud speakers with the meaning explained..

"saha-yajnah prajah srstva
purovaca prajapatih
anena prasavisyadhvam
esa vo ’stv ista-kama-dhuk."

"Having first created mankind together with ygna,
the Prajapati said, ‘By this shall you propagate; Let this be to you the cow of plenty!’"
