Everyone of us must've heard of qutations like "Work is worship", Just do ur work, & never expect for fruit, so on & so forth. That day i was reading a book of Swami vivekananda titled KARMAYOGA. therin he explored the idea of this said title, i.e. Detachment from work. Let's see what it is.
Actually every human being is expecting good fruits for whatever he has done. All ancient literature distract us from doing this. they belive in work(karma) & not on fruits(fal) In one of my speeches in college I strongly contradicted this idea by saying that why did man learnt to climb the tree?? for a simple reason, it contained fruits. So one must be result oriented. But by the time i realised that it is not so. The philosophy is, you just dour work & Don't worry about the fruits.
Detachment from work also explains the same thin but in a differnt way. It restrict mankind to get emotionally attached with whatever they do in thier life. because emotional involment is basic reason in most of the sorrows in life. If u want to help someone, do it & forget it but never expect that he will help u in return on some day. Becoz helping others is our own choice. In the beggining it was very difficult to digest but it is very useful to avoid unnecessary frustations in our life. I also tried & really it gave me an immense pleasure at my workplace & personal life also. This concept is more elaborated in the followoing story( i red it in one of the books of Sudha murthy)
There was a middle class family in a town. one day the head of family came at home. It was a first day of month, so his spouse asked him, "where is ur salary?" He calmly replied "I gave it to one lady on road, her son was suffering from cancer" After some time they come to know from television that the lady to whom he gave the money was a burgler. The wife was very upset with her husband's attitude. but he was calm. He said ,"Thank god that child is well"
