Remember Self...

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.

Practice
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.
