Leave the result of your work to the Will of God
When work is undertaken with an egotistic attitude, impelled by selfish motives and inspired by hopes of self-advancement, it feeds greed and pride, envy and hatred. Then, it fastens the bond and fosters the feeling of attachment to more and more profitable works. It promotes ingratitude to those who lent their hands and brains and to God Himself who endowed the person with the urge and the skill. "I did it", one says when the work succeeds; or "Others spoiled it" one says when it fails. Resentment, depression and despair follow when the work results in failure. The more deeply one is attached to the fruits, the more intense and painful is one's grief when one is disappointed. The only means, therefore, to escape from both pride and pain is to leave the result to the Will of God, while one is happy in the thought that one has done one's duty with all the dedication and care that one is capable of. No one can do better than his best. The body is gifted with all its inherent excellences and defects so that it can be used, every moment of life, for purposes that can sanctify time through service, sacrifice and love. The word translated as work or action also connotes the rites prescribed by the (ancient sacred scriptures) in the section named so. They are aimed at securing for the persons performing them a variety of material gains. Some of them promise as reward even a sojourn in heaven. But, they are all result-oriented. Though they cleanse the mind and foster renunciation, they yield the best results only when they have the attainment of world peace and world prosperity as the goal. then becomes , yoked with unselfish ideals. All acts undertaken by persons after surrendering their wills and wants to the Lord ( - Giving up all ideas of do's and dont's, surrender to Me alone) become so holy and so pure that they do not bind one, either by the iron chain of misery or the golden chain of exultation.
