18.46 A man attains perfection when his work is worship of God, from whom all things come and who is in all. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 18)
perfect work
Perfect work is that which benefits others and provides peace of mind to self. Such work is possible when we are ‘devoted’ to it. Such work becomes ‘heavenly’ work when done with the right ‘spirit’! What is this spirit of work?

According to The Gita God is intimately involved in all our activities. It then behooves us to involve God into our daily activities. This is a sure way to perfection and peace. How does one do it though? Here are some examples:

- We interact with others as though we’re dealing with God…
- We submit all work deliverables as an offering to God…
