Work and Profit

It's been a while since I updated on my spiritual progress.  The truth is I've been so busy with the wordly tasks ( you know the usual, work, kids, work, volunteer work etc).

But, I am looking forward to my trip to India this summer - Spiritual Pilgrimage to Southern India to see my guru.  Very excited.  Will update you all on this trip and experiences. 

Having said that - I want to leave you with a quote from the Guru, -

Work done with no concern or desire for the profit therefrom, purely out of love or from a sense of duty, is Yoga. Such work destroys your animal nature and will transform you into a Divine Being. Serve others, visualizing them as Divine Souls. That will help your progress and will save you from sliding down the spiritual stage you've attained. Service is far more salutary than even vows and worship. Service disintegrates the selfishness latent in you and opens your heart wide. It makes your heart blossom.

This is the basic saying of Bhagavat Gita as well. In this modern world - we seek profit and results without having or wanting to do the work.  Such work results in  no profit or benefit to us or the others.  What do you say?
