Home to office and back home is all we know of life. And then life is confined between two places, our home and the office. We turn means into an end we make work the be-all and end-all of life. Really, work is just a means to celebrate life.īut the irony is that the way we live there is no leisure left to sing and dance and celebrate life. We work so that we can have a moment of dance in our lives.
Work for what? Why does man work? Man works so he can live. And they don’t have even a right perspective of work. They say, “Do something as long as you are alive, or die if you cannot do anything.” They have no other vision of life except work. All anxieties of life are the handiwork of the workoholics they have turned life into a workshop. You must have noticed how people who are addicted to work, who turn everything into work, have filled life with tension and only tension.
Quantitatively the work will be less, but qualitatively it is going to be immeasurable. It is true there will not be too much work, it will be less in quantity, but in quality it will be superb. Then work will happen in the company of singing and dancing. He will certainly work, but his work will be a part of the festivity, it will have the flavor of celebration. It is not that someone will cease to work if he takes life as a celebration. It is not homework, not a task that has to be performed willy nilly. Life is really a great feast, a blissful festivity. Krishna does not take life as work, as duty he takes it as a celebration, a festivity.
If life is work, a duty, then it is bound to turn into a burden, a drag, and we will have to go through it, as we do, with a heavy heart. Firstly, let us find out whether life is a schedule of duties and works to be performed, or it is a celebration.
