None can remain without work even for a moment, says the Gita. How true! Man's whole life is a saga of work done, consciously or unconsciously, toward satisfying different ends. Is he then merely a slave, a fleshy machine only to be on the run without any respite, chased, as it were, by the demon of desires and circumstances? Can he turn the tables and become the Master himself and make work his subordinate, a servant? Yes! In this small booklet the readers will find the secret of work which will help them work like masters and not like slaves.
Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual life, fight as long as there is any life in you. Even though you know you are going to be killed, fight till you are killed. Don't die of fright. Die fighting. Don't go down till you are knocked down.
-Swami Vivekananda
