Daily Nuggets:
There was one wood cutter. He used to cut wood daily, slogging it out in the hot sun, sweating. The sane company employed another wood cutter. The second wood cutter used to cut more than the first. As a result, after one year the company increased his salary.
The first wood cutter complained, I have been working so long in this company and you have increased the salary of the new-comer. They said, look, we are production oriented, he is cutting double the trees than you, if you also increase your performance we will increase your salary more than his.
So he tried harder and harder, but he was not able to increase his production. So he went to them and ask, how does he cut so many trees. They said why dont you ask him.
He went and asked the second wood cutter, how do you do it. The lumberjack said, every time I cut a tree, I take a five minute break in which I sharpen my saw.
Do you sharpen your saw,🤔
The first one said, No, I just keep hitting and hitting at it. He said that's the mistake! You need to sharpen your saw.
Similarly, you're working in the world. You're running from morning till night, from one crisis to the other, to difficulty, to conflict at home and office. But all these require an elevation of your own consciousness.
The more sublime consciousness you bring to bear in your task, your work and on your issues the more efficient you will be. So do you take time to sharpen your saw, do you take time to sharpen your mind through, *sadhana* regular spiritual exercise 🤔
Hare Krishna 🙏🏼
