What is the undercurrent which vivifies the

mind, enables it to do all this work? It is the

Self. So that is the real source of your activity.

Simply be aware of it during your work and do

not forget it. Contemplate in the background of

your mind even whilst working. To do that, do

not hurry, take your own time. Keep the

remembrance of your real nature alive, even

while working, and avoid haste which causes

you to forget. Be deliberate. Practise

meditation to still the mind and cause it to

become aware of its true relationship to the

Self which supports it. Do not imagine it is

you who are doing the work. Think that it is

the underlying current which is doing it.

Identify yourself with the current. If you

work unhurriedly, recollectedly, your work

or service need not be a hindrance.

Lead me from the unreal to the real

Lead me from darkness to light

Lead me from death to immortality.
