Life is work with a sense of detachment

Work with a sense of detachment means working for work's sake while we are least concerned with enjoyment of the fruits of our works. We should work for fulfilling our duties for others while enjoying minimum benefits for ourselves. This sense of sacrifice,love and affection for others will make ourselves detached from mental tension and will help us live a more peaceful life. Enjoyments based on Ego,Sex,Power and Money have little meaning for a person who sacrifices himself or herself for God. Living for God, living under His blessings, enchanting His Holy Names,remembering God in both pleasure and pain, thinking and doing good of others are those mental states which transform our material lives into spiritual lives. Hence we should try to think beyond the boundary of material possessions and pleasures and devote ourselves to the service of God.It is impossible to know God completely, but through long striving we can feel Him in our existence. Feeling God is full of uncontaminated pleasure and we should all try to be in that state as long as possible in our lifetime.
