Dear All,

A short thought about Benedictine spirituality.

The main-rule of the Order of St. Benedict is "ora et labora":

"Pray and work!"

ora (pray)

labora (work)

If one looks at the word "labora" (work) "ora "(prayer) is contained in it.

And so is the understanding in Benedictine spirituality.

 

A parallel in Sri Ramanas teaching is found in Ganesan's Moments

Remembered, where Ramana said at an occasion:

"Doing the allotted work in time is itself meditation."

 

Yours in Sri Ramana

Gabriele
