Bodhayanti Parasparam Vol 6
appreciates us for any work that we do like preparing a good dish or giving a good lecture etc we get enjoyment as the self is boosted. This binds and forces us to do similar type of work in a same way repeatedly. This goes into our subconscious mind and we are governed by it involving ourselves more unduly and getting attached to it. When we get involved in this kind of things then we may lose awareness of remembering the Master.
Having competence is necessary for doing work in a perfect manner. But the knowledge or the awareness of our abilities creates an imbalance in us most of the times as the self is dominant. We should always be aware that the senses, faculties are the gifts of the Master for doing His work for Himself consciously which should be followed by dedicating the work to the Master immediately after the task is over. Initially it was a conscious activity and now slowly to some extent I am able to practice it naturally.
The idea of conceiving the fruits of the work as a reward should get transformed or changed to considering that getting work itself is a reward to us. This idea is enabling me in doing my work in the remembrance of the Master as a duty remaining unattached to the result of the work under many situations.
On analyzing various situations in my life it has come to my understanding that work should be qualified by the following conditions:
1
2 Pious/Purity Doing the work in the consciousness of the Master
    Selflessness
   Any work that we do should always be only for the good of others
