We have come here to do a particular work. Devote yourself to your domestic duties. We fail to realize how hectic work may be embalmed with rest, how we can work without doing anything and its reverse. We are enchained by our blind habits, our multiform idolatry. Work itself is sacrifice.
Work is penance, indeed.
Just try to love Him and do your duty. Duty is the first thing. Duty is Karma, work. Your one hand is held by Him and the other one is left free for your daily actions. So go ahead, no need for worry.
