Quote from the Essence of the Bhagavad-Gita
Sri Krishna says:
Who ever sees non-work, and work in non-work. Is wise. Such a person is a yogi who has done everything that needs to be done
This person , as a result of directly experiencing the Self, has always and in every situation the awareness that “I am doing nothing, I am the Self’ even while working. When this person notices others sitting lazily not posing themselves as spiritually illumined, he or she sees in them a lot of activity in the form of worldly thoughts. The person who has this kind of insight alone is the truly wise amongst us. He or she is a true yogi. Only such people can do work in the way it ought to be done. In these people alone-Sri Krishna is one example –do we see the unending calm of a yogi in the modest of incessant activity.
I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha
