The acid test for reaching the state of worklessness

Abstract

The moment we engage in the work, all our five sense organs become very active in an involuntary basis. When others talk about our work, comment on certain aspects of our work, it leaves a trace, positive or negative, on us. Even when somebody observes our work (observes the way we do the work), we become very conscious of it and it does leave an impact. The natural fallout of this is that we anxiously await others to acknowledge our work. A homemaker wants the other members in the family to do this to her. The person working in the office also has a similar expectation from his/her colleagues. With the advent of facebook and other such social media, this issue has moved into even greater heights. Today, people load a picture or a joke in a social networking site and wait anxiously to count the number of “likes”. If people close to them do not press the “like button” it spoils the day for the person who uploaded the picture................
