Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Do the Vedas recommend doing work or not? [Nakarmanasays that you should not do work. Kurvamneveh says that you should constantly work. How do you correlate these two statements in the Veda? If you bring the third Vedic statement Dhanena Tyagena,the above two statements can be correlated. You must do work and sacrifice the fruit of the work to the mission of the Lord. You should not do selfish work since you are enjoying the fruit of such work with your family. Of course, the Lord allows enjoyment of the fruit of work to a minimum level but you should not stop working after earning your minimum requirement. You should constantly work and earn and sacrifice the fruit of your work to the Lord (Tyaktena Bhunjeethah, Shareera Yatra Pichate).
