Purport

There are three kinds of impetus for daily work: knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the knower. The instruments of work, the work itself and the worker are called the constituents of work. Any work done by any human being has these elements. Before one acts, there is some impetus, which is called inspiration. Any solution arrived at before work is actualized is a subtle form of work. Then work takes the form of action. First one has to undergo the psychological processes of thinking, feeling and willing, and that is called impetus. The inspiration to work is the same if it comes from the scripture or from the instruction of the spiritual master. When the inspiration is there and the worker is there, then actual activity takes place by the help of the senses, including the mind, which is the center of all the senses. The sum total of all the constituents of an activity is called the accumulation of work.

FORKLARING: Der er tre former for tilskyndelse til alle vore daglige handlinger: kundskab, kundskabsobjektet og kenderen. Handlingsinstrumenterne, selve handlingen og arbejderen, der handler, kaldes for en handlings bestanddele. Enhver menneskelig handling indeholder disse elementer. Før man handler, er der en form for tilskyndelse, der kaldes inspiration. Enhver løsning, man kommer frem til, før selve handlingen finder sted, er en form for subtilt arbejde. Derefter tager arbejdet form som handling. Først skal man gennemgå de psykologiske processer i form af at tænke, føle og ville, og det kaldes tilskyndelse. Inspirationen til at gøre noget er den samme, hvad enten den kommer fra skrifterne eller fra den åndelige mesters instruktioner. Når inspirationen er der, og arbejderen er der, finder den egentlige handling sted ved hjælp af sanserne, der inkluderer sindet, der er midtpunkt for alle sanserne. Totalsummen af en handlings bestanddele kaldes det samlede arbejde.
