WORK AND WORSHIP

God helps those who help themselves. Whatever we humans have achieved is a credit to out labour, i.e. work. We owe our success to our endeavours. Work is the root of all progress. It is believed that there is no alternative to hard work yet, with changing times, it has altered into smart work. Man has walked on the moon, devised weapons of mass destruction, created breakthroughs in all conceivable fields of study through his work. Indeed, when a man worships work, fruits of tenacity are reaped. To reach the level of worship, one must whole-heartedly be sincere and persevere.

Even in Bhagwad Gita, it is clearly stated that ‘Karma is Paramount’. Lord Krishna imparted a lesson in Arjun that, ‘Action is the duty and reward is not your concern’. The thread of karma weaves our destiny. It is not just Gita, every other religion has somewhere, or the other mentioned ‘Karma’. We have been endowed with the gift of free will. Hence, we must transform this feature into efforts to attain our goals in life.

Work is also what makes us feel lively. Without it, our lives would be mundane, dull and uninteresting. We have, over generations, developed directions in our lives by way of forming cultures and civilisations. We have been able to do this by worshipping work.

An idle mind is the devil’s workshop, and a concentrative mind coupled with smart, hard work leads to higher wisdom. We need to put efforts even to eat our food.

We study and worship work at school. Over multiple years of our hard work, we develop our respective personalities and forge our identity in this world. So, let us work and worship it for a bright future.
