Supreme goal

Perform work (in a spirit of dedication) to me; make me the supreme goal (of your life); be my devotee, free from attachment and enmity to all beings; such (a seeker) attains to me alone, O Arjuna’.
The laboratory for this science of spiritual growth is life itself, with its twin arenas of work outside and meditation within. The temple or church or mosque outside, or the worship room within the house, properly used, also provides another laboratory. More important than these two is the laboratory of a trained and pure mind. Worship and ritual and religious practices form useful aids, if they are not done as items of a static piety, not done as ends in themselves, but as means to spiritual growth, as instruments of a dynamic spirituality, as a depth education for character.
