Work
We work not with our body, actually, but with our mind and intel-
ligence. So if the intelligence and the mind are always engaged in
the thought of the Supreme Lord, then naturally the senses are also
engaged in His service. Superficially, at least, the activities of the
senses remain the same, but the consciousness is changed.
- BG Intro -
One who works in devotion, who is a pure soul, and who controls
his mind and senses is dear to everyone, and everyone is dear to
him. Though always working, such a man is never entangled.
- BG 5:7 -
Such a man of understanding acts with mind and intelligence
perfectly controlled, gives up all sense of proprietorship over his
possessions, and acts only for the bare necessities of life. Thus
working, he is not affected by sinful reactions. - BG 4:21 -
If you cannot practise the regulations of bhakti-yoga, then just try
to work for Me, because by working for Me you will come to the
perfect stage. - BG 12:10 -
