Our conscience must be clean

One requirement to attain the truth is while performing any work your conscience must be clean. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was popular because he did have any motive behind the deeds he performed and the words he uttered. You do a lot practice, but still you are unable to make any spiritual progress. Why? That is because you do not perform any act or deed with having a motive on the result. Our conscience must be clean. Perform any work by involving yourself completely and with a smile.

In Bhagawad Gita, Sri Krishna says: I like devotees who are not afraid of the world and the ones who do not scare the world. Such a devotee is very close and very dear to me.

You must derive happiness while doing any work. If you crib and cry while doing any work it is a burden. It can make you unhappy. One must keep in mind that God has given us a chance to perform some work. In this way, God is making us work out our faults and setting you on the path of realization. Look at a few who work relentlessly craving for no recognition. On the other hand, there are people who work for getting name and fame in the society. Any action or deed has to be done with a clear mind and in happiness. Remember all that you see is Ishwara's creation. It is He who has allotted you to do any work in your life span here. So, utilize this opportunity.
