"Understand that all works coming our way belong to GOD. Perform them with love and without hesitation.
All incidents and happenings are for our own good. These activities need to be done with a clear understanding that they are for our own benefit and self development.
GOD'S mystic and auspicious purpose is behind all happenings."

My two cents ---
There is one clear benefit when you perform your work as GOD'S work. The first thing that happens is that you encounter and confront your ego as soon as the work is started. That gives you the opportunity to observe yourself and make corrections along the way. A sense of discretion ("vivek" in Gujarati) develops along the way as well. The works are done outside but they are directed from within.
If enough awareness is created within, then inner guidance enters the process. The moment inner guidance (not your own ideas and wishes) is accepted, the ego starts to loosen its grip. From that point on, you become GOD'S instrument and one small piece of the puzzle in his grand design.
It is of the utmost importance to start the process and not just read and entertain yourself. So next time, when a confrontation happens outside, enjoy watching the confrontation within and gain some insight about yourself.
