Spiritualism and Materialism always go side by side particularly for a worldly man. One cannot be put aside for the other because both are created by God. Observe Baba’s subtle play in both these aspects. Both aspects have to be taken care of by following the path shown by Baba. We pick up the qualities of ‘love’ and ‘co-operation‘ <\/em>from our own house and society, if we have a mind to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n

[icon name=”quote-left” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Performance of your household duties is necessary for the growth of your consciousness for your future evolution. It teaches you patience, sacrifice and co-operation with others.[icon name=”quote-right” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A householder has to take out time for Baba’s work while discharging all the duties with perfection towards his family. His family life should be moderate and simple. If the lifestyle is kept simple, it can be handled easily. By organizing the daily routine of life try to minimize the time spent on it unnecessarily, so that more and more time is saved for Baba’s work.This is possible only when one is properly organized. Whatever work you do concentrate on it completely at that time and finish it sincerely and properly. One should utilize his time for the smallest as well as the biggest duties with equal sincerity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

[icon name=”quote-left” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Work should be attempted with a holistic approach because nature is holistic. If each and every action in life is done with faith, perfection and completeness then one can experience the closeness to God who only is perfect. Make Him your companion every moment while doing any work – mundane or spiritual. [icon name=”quote-right” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
