Extract from Placid Thoughts January 1993

Those who have worked closely with me are aware that for me work is fun. The best can come out of our work only if and when we enjoy it. I have over the years tried to convey this thought to a wider reach of people in Kalpakkam on many different occasions. I find that this is quite close to a central concept of Indian thought, that of Dharma or devotion to duty. According to our ancient scriptures, doing one's duty is not drudgery, but a means of ennobling one's life. By doing one's duty faithfully, a person should find fulfillment in life. In this most noble interpretation, work is worship and therefore a source of joy and bliss. All this is beautifully expressed in three words in Gita: "Yoga Karmasu Kausalam" - Yoga is efficiency in action. If there is efficiency in action, administrative efficiency, work efficiency, and technical efficiency, along with a sense of dedication, a sense of commitment, a sense of pride, and a sense of public motivation, then all our expectations will be fulfilled.
