WORK IS WORSHIP

People who depend on themselves and work will live happily for a long time.  Because of their willingness to work will keep them happy and when they are happy they will live for a long time.  Lord Rama is the best example for this.  He used to talk first so that the other person gets confidence in him.  He is called Rama because he would keep others  happy [Ramyate iti Rama].  He used to take all matters in right spirit which means he had solution for the problems.

When he decided to start VANAVASA  He came out of the Palace of Ayodhya and declared now I will offer anything to anybody whomever asked him out of my own source.  One Mr. Trijata a poor man came running and said " Rama I heard that you are offering anything to anybody and came running".  Rama looked at him.  He is a lean person with hunch back with a walking stick in his hand.  Sri Rama looked at this poor personality and asked him what you want.  The poor said whatever you give I will take happily.  

Rama said  "you throw the stick in your hand and I will give you treasure covering the distance of the thrown stick".  Now the poor man is thinking I have got the finest opportunity and hence make use of this to the best of my physical ability.  Now  Rama arranged the cows with all ornaments to such a distance that the poor man could not imagine.  The poor man like our cricket bowlers went back a distance ran forward and finally threw the stick.  The stick though covered a long distance it did not cover the herd of cows arranged by Rama.  Rama saw the pale face of the poor and said the cows covered by your stick you take as  GIFT and the rest cows you take as BONUS.  The poor man took all the cows happily.poornaanand.net

GIFT OF GOD

The God has given us all the organs for expressing gratitude towards him.  To give an example the god has given us hands to join the palms and bow,  eyes to look at him,  ears to hear good things about god, tongue to praise him, legs to go to temple and so on.  He gives food to us to eat and use our energy to do the above jobs. We are born with so many useful organs and the god has not distinguished between rich and poor.  He will acknowledge the karma done by us and match them and still we are on positive line he will accommodate in the heaven or if the negative balance is established he will punish us.  This is the theory of god.  He does not make any partiality. Normally none of us think on the above lines.  We keep accumulating sins and the god punishes us.  We blame god for this.  We do not realise we are the route cause for this.  Like this our sins keeps growing.  When we realise and do positive karmas god will rescue us.
