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.
When we have become free, we need not go mad and throw up society and rush off to die in the forest or the cave; we shall remain where we were but we shall understand the whole thing. The same phenomena will remain but with a new meaning.
-Swami Vivekananda
