Reflections – on washing clothes

Let’s use this example to understand this point better. Any way, they – the clothes are washed it wouldn’t harm anybody. And yet if washed in the ‘right order’ would put the working wheel in order. It would’ve gone seamlessly in a better way! I can hear some of you say “but ma’am, it is so simple and irrelevant, why are you giving so much of importance to it?”

Yes, it is a very mundane routine. And yet it reflects all this in one go – our clarity of thought, effortless way of doing things, mind that is de-cluttered and calmness – if done the best way! That a simple act can give away so much about us is alarming – isn’t it? Now, if it was just an act, then I wouldn’t bother much. But his act reflects ‘our state of mind’ and also our attitude of doing our job. This also shows that I am not present ‘in the moment’ while doing this job. One who thinks ‘chaltha hai’ – (take it easy) while doing small acts would also do bigger acts the same way. That reflects our carelessness towards our work. It also says we are not ‘present’ 100% in the job at hand. That means, we take our work for granted. That shows we are not giving 100% to our job. We are ‘stealing’ literally from our job. Surprised? Yes, we are not giving 100% of our potential to the job at hand reflects our character that doesn’t give its best to every work done. And yet, how many of us complained “but maam, my company doesn’t’ pay salary my worth?”
