By devotion to one's own particular duty, everyone can attain perfection.
Let me tell you how. By performing his own work,
one worships the Creator who dwells in every creature.
Such worship brings that person to fulfilment.
It is better to perform one's own duties
imperfectly than to master the duties of another.
Bhagavad Gita 18.45-47
*
Do and dedicate, work and worship, plant and protect;
but do not worry about the fruit; that is the secret of spiritual success.
Atharva Veda
*
If one does not perform duty to one whom the duty is due, one becomes a thief of the duty.
Avesta, Videvidad 4.1
*
Duty is God; Work is worship. Even the tiniest work is a flower placed at the feet of God.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
*
We are often so caught up in our activities that we tend to
worship our work, work at our play, and play at our worship.
