Friendly talk of you and your God inspired me to say something serious on the subject as followsWhat GOD is or what

is GOD? Question is as old as God Himself. The Masters in the field or top Seers known to the world declined to reply. Even Gautama Buddha denied entertaining the question. They did not say that their search for Ultimate was in vain. They were fully satisfied by the result they attained at last. Why did they do so? What they attained was Existence, near to experience but far from expression. God is pure & perfect existence nothing else. We know that existence ( God) by a property expressed in ourselves in the form of I (some other one may say it Ego). This property is run by Cause and Effect. There are two root-causes. One is wish to have or attachment. Second is detachment or wish to not have or aversion. These two root causes work in the form of involvement and non-involvement or in the form of Alignment and Isolation. Effect of these causes is a type of excitement either positive or negative in accordance with the frame of reference of the subject. Every cause creates the change. Generally, by excitement we mean sudden change of high intensity. Actually, every change is a type of excitement, provoke us to feel pleasure or pain. Positive excitement is felt as pleasure and Negative excitement is felt as pain or sorrow. This Cause and Effect is one of the basic properties which makes the existence expressed, that is our practical world. God has nothing to do with this universe, property of cause and effect is sufficient to do all the things needed to deal with. It is the secret of HIS eternal freedom and purity. This law of expressed world is DHARMA. To practice Dharma is to understand this property properly with orientation to the fullness & perfection. Cause and Effect is only one property, not existence in full. So, Dharma is proper understanding of this changing (by cause and effect) world and inspiration to live in equanimity, not in excitement-positive or negative. More precisely, practice of living in equanimity by proper understanding of this ever changing world is Dharma; Dharma without adjective. Living in equanimity is unknown to us. As it is a matter of living and no one can live the others life. So, nobody can know it as second hand experience; it is always known as first hand experience by entering in the EXISTENCE. Thats why Masters kept mum on the subject. Entering in the field of Pure & Perfect means escaping from part to total one. If you want to feel or experience the Existence you will have to go beyond cause & effect (working way of existence). To attain this Oneness several ways are possible according to the spectrum available or you can even say as many ways are available as the persons are. Brush of Picasso and Guitar of Jimmy Hendrix were never being considered as form of worship but for them these instruments become gate to enter in the field of perfection. Ancient Indian

Rishis also follow their own and independent way. They were Scientists, Theoreticians and Philosophers of that time left a long way behind to follow. You are very right to say that Do your job best and no job can be done best with intention of result. Every one can attain this Perfection or Oneness by doing his job or work here and now. But remember, it is only possible when you are doing it not as a cause of something imagined. Do your work without wishing something as a result. Immediately you will go beyond the rule of Cause and Effect. Without imagining a result what will be the source of inspiration to do something? Two things are to be considered. One, due to our present frame of reference, physical as well as mental and sequence of serials of our past in our unconscious mind (called Sanskar in Sanskrit language), We are condemned to do something according to our mental serials. Second, due to our past practice and experience, we know only one type of pleasure i.e. pleasure of excitement. We do not know the other one i.e. pleasure of perfection, pleasure of equanimity. After its taste inspiration will not be a problem. So, the problem is not practical. You know, your spectrum may be quite fit for the professionals (also, mostly adopted in ancient India by super class of intellectuals) but there are so many other ways to go. Love and Devotion is another remarkable way to overcome the rule of Cause and Effect. In the great book of our time SHRIMADBHAGATGEETA there are few have been popular ways are described to attain and understand that pure existence and its worldly expression named Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Gyana Yoga etc. One may follow, which suits him. These are brands in the field, other local ones are also available and as effective as branded. In ancient India Patanjalli,the great Rishi and Lord Buddha organized the way to attain this Perfection as an independent discipline called Ashtang Yog(eight steps of addition to get that ONE, PURE,PERFECT & PERMANENT.) Now conclude: There are two way to do the things; first, being governed by the cause and effect i.e. area of logic; Second, being beyond the first. When you believe, devote or whatever you do without subjectivity or with full commitment or without creating a cause, at least on mental plane; you are following the second. It is right way because full commitment means full attention means no division means oneness means perfection and purity. You may label it whatever you feel fit; God or otherwise.
