One day, a student went to his spiritual teacher and asked, “I want to study more, to be involved in spirituality, but I need to work to bring home sustenance for my family. What can I do?” The teacher responded, “When you are busy, focused on your own work, and someone needs your help, help them. Or, when someone asks to borrow money, loan that person money in a way that is fair. Just apply what you have learned to whatever you do, and in that way, you will make your lifes work the work of spiritual growth.” It isn't about the amount of time we are able to devote to our studies that makes the difference. It’s how we apply all that it is we have learned to our every day lives. |
