Boring tasks of life<\/strong>| Mohanji<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boredom and its remedy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think anybody in the world would say that washing dishes is a pleasure. Eating is a pleasure, but not washing dishes. But it\u2019s a good question; I\u2019ll give you the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\u2019s the tedium or boredom coming from?

The seed of boredom or tedium – there\u2019s an expectation. The expectation is for something new, but the result is something monotonous – the same thing. This is what is creating tedium or boredom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a particular mantra in the scriptures. Roughly translated, it says, \u201cToday whenever I am taking a step, let this step be towards you, to the God. Whatever I am eating, let this be your gift to me. Whatever I am saying, let it be your praises. It may not be chanting, but whatever I speak today, let it be like flowers at your feet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, for all the dishes you’re washing, let them be God\u2019s dishes. Does it make a difference? Then it becomes a meditation. It changes the attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I like your question; you’re very intelligent. Nice question; I really enjoyed it. I like such questions; it should be fun. People ask serious questions like enlightenment. Who wants it? Enlightenment is after washing dishes if we have time. I hope I have given you the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
