A DIMENSION OF WORK

In my ashram there are no retired members. Retirement is unknown to them. They are ever striving and working with balance. To them rest is at work. Relaxation is in work. They need no other entertainment than work. They entertain work and entertain themselves. I do not believe in the concept of contentment at work. The contented ones do not tend to strive. My pupils are contented only when they are striving.

When a work is fulfilled people get happy and contented. But when a new work of goodwill starts my pupils’ energy races with enthusiasm. They do not feel it to be an additional load or extra load, they also do not look for extra remuneration for extra labour. They crave for work for they know that work keeps them happy and work keeps them enthusiastic, work enables them to be joyful. To them when the work is getting nearly finished, they slow down in their enthusiasm, because they are concluding the work. Even in a running race when the athlete is on the run he is full of energy, when the run concludes he gasps for breath. It looks like a paradox, but it is true, while running he does not gasp, while he slows down and stops running he gasps for breath. Why is it so? The nature’s message is, “At work you do not gasp. It is after work you gasp.” If there is always work you don’t give time for gasping or gossiping. “Doing is life. Done is death.” says the Lord in Bhagavad Gita.
