We should attempt theFinite for the Infinite
Keeping this knowledge in our background consciousness or subconsciousness we have to work in the world and live up to that reality. Whatever work we do we have to submit the fruits to the Master or think that it is the command of the Master and do it with enthusiasm. Work we have to do with sincerity and enthusiasm getting rid of sloth and laziness but the results we have to submit at the feet of the Master. This is the path of duty we have to tread and our consciousness which is trapped in a finite body slowly gets liberated and sta rts moving into rarer and rarer realms of super consciousness and our real meaning and purpose of life is achieved. Since subtle presence of Divine is present in every animate and inanimate objects doing our duty as service to Master and serving the veiled Master in all our dealings with our fellow brethren is attempting the finite for the Infinite.
I end the article with a prayer that all of us be blessed with strength to do service to The Master.

Rev. Master had mentioned the above sentence in the message ‘Dynamic Path of Rajyoga’ delivered at Bangalore on 23-12-1964.
All of us are aware that to take birth as a human being is a boon given by God because we are potentially divine (infinite) and this is an opportunity to realize and express it. But many human beings are leading their lives without any aim or goal i.e., like a jivi with some fulfilled and unfulfilled desires struggling most part of their life and finally leaving behind the body after some happiness and sorrow. Thus life continues to be in this manner. Everyone is quite aware of this fact. When we question as to what is so great about taking a birth as a human being?
