And all this is because he did not give time for his inner
spiritual growth. Just as when one keeps writing with a pencil, but does not
sharpen, it eventually becomes blunt and incapable of writing. similarly if one
keeps on working, but does not spare time for mantra meditation and prayer,
then one’s efficiency goes down drastically and one becomes incapable of doing
any worthwhile work; one’s work become meaningless.
Now-a-day, such workaholics are very proud of the saying “karma
hi Pooja hai”. But if one tries to live like that, working like a donkey, one
will be totally frustrated in life and will never get any peace of mind. One
the other hand, if every day one sets aside some time for god and chants Hare
Krishna, it is like sharpening the pencil. By such regular spiritual practice,
one can manage both—one’s duty as well as one’s duty to god – nicely. This is
the way to living with peace of mind, both in this world and the next.
