Do Your Duty, But Don't Expect Results

What Lord Krishna emphasized several eons ago is relevant even in the present day context: Do your duty; do not wait for results. So,

1. Whatever work you have undertaken, do it sincerely and diligently without waiting for recognition or bothering about criticism. Your conscience is your yardstick.

2. Try to score cent percent in whatever you do. Do your work so diligently that no one else can do it better. Then you have made a big leap from humanity to Divinity. Serve without a single blemish or fault.

Become a 100% performer; because half-baked stuff cannot become a palatable pudding and you will continue remaining a human being or go down the hierarchy. Make use of the opportunities you have here to nurture your talent and weed away your follies. It is for you to understand and climb up the divine ladder. When you climb a steep mountain, the only inspiration you need to hold on to is this: ‘someone has already climbed, so why not I?’

Secondly, perseverance. Whatever be the hurdles you face, do not waver. Just surge ahead. When you attempt at any task with a quest for perfection and excellence, you will gradually start realizing the Divinity within you. Then there is no need to hanker after pilgrimages, mantras, tantras, yagams etc.

Samratchana is one big family, where you are able to do away with hatred, anger and jealousy and nurture the divine qualities of Love and Compassion towards all.
