The Mother’s Comment

Let us offer our work to the Divine, this is the sure way of progressing.

Spiritual Message by the Mother/ Quotes by Sri Aurobindo

To do the work that one does with all sincerity, as perfectly as one can, is certainly one of the best ways to serve the Divine.

The Mother, Words of the Mother - II: Progress and Perfection in Work

Work is part of the Yoga and it gives the best opportunity for calling down the Presence, the Light and the Power into the vital and its activities; it increases also the field and the opportunity of surrender.

Sri Aurobindo, The Mother with Letters on The Mother: Work for the Mother in the Integral Yoga
