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.
They alone live whose lives are in the whole universe, and the more we concentrate our lives on limited things, the faster we go towards death. Those moments alone we live when our lives are in the universe, in others; and living this little life is death, simply death, and that is why the fear of death comes.
-Swami Vivekananda
