his devotion or obedience to that dictates his conduct.

Your difficulty in work is that you regard it too much as your
work and from your personal point of view. So questions of
personal convenience, ideas, way of doing things, prestige, de-
mands take a big place — and the result is quarrels. You have to
learn to be impersonal. Even in the world work cannot be well
done without that. How much more necessary is it for a sadhak
of Yoga!
CWSA 29: 245

Practice of Equanimity
Helpless acceptance [of difficulties] is no part of the Yoga
of works — what is necessary is a calm equanimity in the face
both of helpful and adverse, fortunate or unfortunate happen-
ings, good or evil fortune, success or failure of effort. One must
learn to bear without flinching and disturbance, without rajasic
joy or grief, doing all that is necessary, but not dejected if dif-
ficulties or failure come — one still goes on doing what can be
done, not sinking under the burden of life.
CWSA 29: 243

Service of the Divine
There should be no straining after power, no ambition, no
egoism of power. The power or powers that come should be
considered not as one’s own, but as gifts of the Divine for the
Divine’s purpose. Care should be taken that there should be
no ambitious or selfish misuse, no pride or vanity, no sense of
superiority, no claim or egoism of the instrument, only a simple
and pure psychic instrumentation of the nature in any way in
which it is fit for the service of the Divine.
