Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy but we may make it holy. However “sacred” a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify.
Meister Eckhart

Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy, but we may make it holy.

The essence of saintliness is total acceptance of the present moment, harmony with things as they happen.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
