If we understand the giving up of the world in its old, crude sense, then it would come to this: that we must not work, that we must be idle, sitting like lumps of earth, neither thinking nor doing anything, but must become fatalists, driven about by every circumstance, ordered about by the laws of nature, drifting from place to place. That would be the result.
But that is not what is meant.
We must work. … …
He works, who is not propelled by his own desires, by any selfishness whatsoever. He works, who has no ulterior motive in view.
He works, who has nothing to gain from work.
- Swami Vivekananda, Jnana-Yoga, London
