METHOD OF PERFORMING ROUTINE KARMA (WORKS) IN THE THE WORLDLY AFFAIRS

Swajan : Mota, There is no way to come out of the routine works that need to be done in this world. We always get immersed in the karma while performing it. How can we experience the grace of God while still performing the works?

Pujya Shree Mota : Routine works will always go on in this world. There is no end to it. We need not get confined and bound in the works of the worldly affairs in spite of being involved in it. We should continue to do it with the spirit of its usefulness as our offering of flowers at Thy lotus feet. This needs to be done with the understanding and knowledge of this purpose of the works. The works that are done for the love and affection towards God becomes a very useful tool to develop inclination  towards God.

If we have to do the needed works, then it can be done (with the grace of God) for the  purpose of developing true inclination and spirit. When done in this way, the works enlivens our purpose and spirit towards God. This is not an ordinary gain for the soul that wants to make the life worthwhile. Just as immense happiness is experienced by poorest of the poor when supported by a very rich person, we will definitely experience the exhilaration of the grace of God if we do the works of the world with the way and sprit shown above.
