Converting our work into worship ennobles us as also the work we do, however mundane it may be. Our routine activities then become acts of worship.
Work is what we make it to be. We all have similar work to do. Yet it is the attitude with which one works that makes the difference to it. If one works with irritation and anger it shows in the work. Even if the work is completed, there would neither have been joy during the process of working nor would there be beauty to the work accomplished.
We have work to do as a student. We need to study. We have to go to school. There are assignments and projects to do. We also participate in various curricular and extra-curricular activities during an academic session at school. All this constitutes our work.

Work is what life is all about. Work is synonymous to life. Where there is life, there is activity and work to do. We all have a number of different activities to do.
We engage in many different types of work
We work when we are students in school, and through our higher education. We work for our livelihood. We have work to do to keep our household going. We also engage in different kinds of social work. Any activity that we do for entertainment or as a hobby is also considered as work.

Our attitude makes a difference to the work we do
When we work with a positive attitude, we enjoy our work. We find our work a drudgery or troublesome if we do not find joy in our work. If we work in a negative state of mind we not only suffer performing our tasks and activities, but also do not meet with success.
Worship is a state of mind. It is a combination of respect, reverence, love, truth, purity, simplicity and honesty. When we have such a state of mind while doing any activity or task, we treat our work as worship. Then worship is not limited only to an activity of religious nature. Our state of mind makes our routine and normal activities acts of worship.
A worshipful attitude to work can be developed
We can work with complete dedication assuming our work itself to be worship. When we work with devotion and dedication we also experience contentment and peace because that is, in fact, our state of mind in worship. In this lies our success and fulfilment in any work. We also work with a broader view for the good of all.
We also work with a happy and positive disposition of mind. We can therefore enjoy all our activities that make up our work.
Worship is an attitude and a state of mind of a person. A worshipful state of mind reflects a combination of sentiments such as respect, reverence, regard, love, purity, sincerity, simplicity and honesty. These are the sentiments we express to God when we worship the Divine. When we express these sentiments in the work we do, we live by the principle that work is worship.
We work when we are students
We do many different kinds of work each day. As a student our work is to study. Our studies include reading the many different subjects that are part of our academics. We also have to write whether it is as class work or home work. Similarly, we have to take our examinations whether they are weekly tests, or tests at the end of a semester or an academic year. We also have many projects and assignments to complete during a year whether they are during the vacations or when the academic session is on. As part of the extra-curricular activities too we have projects and assignments to do.
We work for our livelihood
Similarly, whatever may be our occupation or profession; we have work that is related to our livelihood that we need to perform. We may be in the profession of healthcare, farming, journalism, acting or teaching. We may work as an entrepreneur and run a business. We may work in the hospitality, aviation or transport sectors. Whatever may be our job, we need to work. As a homemaker too we have work related to our home that we need to perform.
Work is therefore indispensable. We may work for the benefit of others or we may work for our own selves. Either way, what we have to do qualifies to be called work.
Making work successful requires the right attitude
Our work is successful when we are able to realise our goals in the best possible way. Our work is well accomplished when we have the right attitude to the work we do. The best way is to transform our work into worship. If we do our work with a sense of joy and love, as also respect and care, we make our work similar to worship.
If we work with honesty, we will not engage in any act of corruption or cheating. We must also work sincerity, dedication and devotion. If our work is imbued with simplicity and purity of heart and mind, we convert our work into worship, and experience peace and contentment.
