If the work you do today does not bring you Joy, your work is to bring Joy to it. Feel this river of Joy while you work. The river of Joy was already there, and then It seems to appear as you doing work. So today, for the first time, you’re remembering the river while you work, feeling the river while you work, being the river while you watch the work. Wherever you are, wherever you go, you bring the Joy. You bring the party. You don’t go somewhere to have fun. ‘I’ is the fun! You become aware of the Joy (of the ‘I’) in that place, beyond the appearance of that place, and so you can become aware of Joy in any place, including your workplace.

Today’s Quotes: “Happiness starts with you – not with your relationships, job, or money.” -Sadhguru “My heart, flows like a river to the sea, may it always be, may it always be. A river of Grace flows through me, may it always be, may it always be.” -Jahnavi Harrison from the song, “Like a River” “When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” -Rumi “Wherever you are, be the soul of that place.” -Rumi “Constant repetition of God’s name , even without feelings of Devotion, in anger or lethargy , brings out His Grace. Once this is realized, there is no room for misgivings.” -Maharajji “Whistle while you twerk.” – The Yin Yang Twins “In this life, we learn how to flow with the river, and stop fighting with the rocks.” -Lauren London “Flow of Grace.” – Krishna Das
“When we no longer search for the peace that the world can give, but seek only “my peace,” the gates of consciousness open to admit the spiritual light which becomes the life of our being and our body. Many people desire spiritual power in order to enjoy more harmonious experiences. Their purpose in seeking God usually is to enjoy more and better earthly things, to catch larger fish in their nets bigger fish, better fish. But the basis of our work is to “leave your nets,” to leave this search for more and better human good and open consciousness to the spiritual realities. Then the things which come to us in the outer world are the fruits of an inward grace. Grace can only be attained by a state of inner silence, a state of inner awareness and receptivity; therefore it is necessary for us to prepare ourselves for the experience of receiving that grace. This is the whole purpose of meditation.”
-Joel Goldsmith, “The Art of Meditation” (Chapter 2, The Purpose)
