Passage 2

In English

By doing , you serve your own best interest

So, for whose sake are you performing ? You are doing for your own sake. You are engaged in in order that you may become aware of the in you, in order that you may discard the allurements of your ego, in order to know yourself and to get the answer to the question that torments you, namely, "Who am I." You do not serve others, you serve yourselves; you do not serve the world, you serve your own best interest. You may ask: how is it possible to transcend the ego through ? By saturating with love, work can be transformed into worship. When the work is offered to God, it gets sanctified into (sacramental worship). This makes it free from ego. It is also freed from the earthly desire for success and the earthly fear of failure. You feel that when you have done the work as best as you can, your is accomplished. It is then for Him who has accepted the to confer on you what He considers best. This attitude will make the work (un-attached). Regular practice of this discipline will render the consciousness clear and pure. It will promote (pure consciousness). Without this primary equipment how can man ever hope to scale spiritual heights? Almost all the great sages of the past spent the early years of their lives in that would ensure a pure consciousness. However prospective your career might be, however much you might accumulate the wherewithal of a comfortable life, to whatever heights of authority you might have climbed through the exercise of your intelligence, your gains shall be nil unless your every activity is suffused with the Divine purity inherent in the consciousness.
