The fruit of action...

"Do whatever needs to be done, but do it as a
spiritual being, As one who knows he is divine by
nature and unlimited with the whole of life in
essence.

Do it as if you are doing it for Me or for God.

Do it with equal consideration for the interests of
all concerned, for God is equally in each.

Do it with utmost concentration, yet with utter
detachment for the results of action.

Leave the fruit of action to Me or to God.

Do it as if it were the most important thing in the
universe, yet let it be destroyed, or ignored, or
ridiculed without concern, or let it be praised
without elation.

Leave the response to Me or to God.

Do it, in short, as if you were not doing it at all,
but as if I or God were doing it through you."
