A spiritual comment and prayer to begin the day with Brahmacharini Shripriya Chaitanya

Love made visible.

Good morning.

Human beings are capable of a tremendous amount of effort. This is possible only when we are inspired; otherwise, the ability remains dormant. How can we bring about inspiration, and why does it matter? The quality of an action depends upon the ideals, which guide and inspire an individual.

Ideals are essential for us all in life, because a person with no ideals feels fatigued in his work. This fatigue is caused by strain and stress, which we invite by craving for indulgence in sense objects and ceaseless expectation of the fruits of our actions. When we work with a mind constantly turned towards the results, our attention is diverted away from the work at hand and we are exhausted by even the slightest effort.

Our work is love made visible. The ideal pointed out in Hinduism to all who seek to achieve something in this world is a person who does not work in the world for profit, nor for success or recognition, but from a feeling of self-fulfilment that he did the best he could. Such a person works from happiness, rather than for happiness.

They discover their joy in the precision and perfection of their work, and a silent stream of joy sings a secret song at all times in their heart. They do not care whether others recognise them or not. They are a master of circumstances, a ruler of their own generation. Such a person is truly independent and capable of giving to the world more than what they take for themselves.

Faith is power; faith fulfils. This is the secret of achievement, whether the desire is for worldly things or for the fulfilment in spiritual life. I pray for faith.

Hari Om.
