Elevate
everyday experiences to the level of sacredness. When work is done with such
love, it fills the body and mind with bliss and transforms any place into a
sacred space. As
Kalil Gibran writes in The Prophet, ‘What is it to work with love? It is to
weave the cloth from the strings of your heart, as though your Beloved were to
wear it.’This reverence or shraddha is due to all, because of the divine spark
that dwells in all men—whether he is a legend or a leper. Sometimes it is obvious. The
Divine spark is the silent flame of consciousness that reaches out to you from
a flowering creeper or a healthy pet. Sometimes this life force has
lost its vitality and is dimmed by dirt, lethargy and lack of care. Clean the
glass of your lamp. Make
the light shine through. Decide to approach all events, people, and things with
affection, shraddha.
