In the pursuit of the spiritual,
one should not have any rewards in view.
One who has mercenary motives becomes a wage earner.
He cannot be a master.
One who works for wages will not
have a deep interest in the work
and what he does will not be perfect.
He will only be a clock-watcher.
He considers himself an outsider
in relation to his job. On the other hand,
in his own house, see how his wife and children work.
They receive no wages.
Their work is filled with love,
purity and earnestness.
They are masters of themselves and work in freedom.
One who prays to God for
something in return is like a wage-laborer.
The devotee who regards God as his own kinsman
and serves the Lord is like a master of the household.
Conduct yourselves as masters,
and not as mercenary employees.
