Take Every Profession As Worship

All living creatures on this earth need food to survive for more time, different species require different food stuffs for their survival on this unique planet. We should be clear that we are not here for eating food, in simple words food is just a necessary requirement of our body for the different scientific processes like body growth, body development, good health etc. In other words we are directly or indirectly in the search of food. Different organisms fulfil their demand by different selected ways. Some are omnivorous, some are carnivorous and some are herbivorous, some living creatures eat dead and decaying, some eat waste food, and some eat fresh and healthy food. So the chain begins here naturally, every single one directly or indirectly depends upon each other, since the origin of their existence comes on the earth. We need each other’s favour, help, support, love, protection, guidance etc. We are doing the same since the origin of living creatures and we will make sure for future generations with great modifications and optimum changes, we are positive for positive development of our basic morale, ethics, behaviour. Well developing our morale is our recognition, we should keep in our minds that we should be recognised by our behaviour not by our degrees mentioned in the fancy papers. We start our walk without holding degree papers in our hands, no one needs your highest degree you have achieved, and one needs your good behaviour, your humbleness, your kind attention that’s your real in the society recognition. My today’s article is about, how can we be the good and great professional experts in a particular area, the dictionary meaning of a profession is as ‘’an occupation, trade, craft, or activity in which one has a professed expertise in a particular area; a job, especially one requiring a high level of skill or training.’’
We start our day with different activities like we used to go to masjid’s for the prayers, Hindu go to temples for puja ritual, Sikhs to Gurduwaras, Christians to churches for their ritual prayers, and our activities start here till the late evening of the same day. We are living in a well civilised society where we find different people related to different occupations, professions some are higher ranked, some are lower ranked and some are in-between higher and lower as per the status given them by the society within which they are living. We notice different objects around us, like utensils in the kitchen, flowers in the garden, vases on the window pane, bricks fixed in the boundary wall, cars, buses and amazing kinds of transport outside our homes. Sometimes we get bizarre how they made this and that. But we do know every invention is an artificial invention that is man-made by its origin. I used to get confused why only few are renowned like:- teachers, doctors, professors, engineers, and many more professional dignities, why few are being known throughout the country, city, state. It is so they are loyal, honest, and doing their best willingly. I think that might be the good reason behind the renowned professional dignities in the world. In our society we take some professions as ill like the profession of conductor, profession of cobbler, and etc. but the other side we lacking the knowledge suppose, if these would not have in our society, then how would you fulfil your demands, same fulfilled by the mentioned professionals. My views are clear to whosoever take his/her profession as worship and expect to get the name and fame in the society. Suppose one wants to become a doctor, utterly concentrate on your assigned task not go after the false name and fame. Take every profession as worship, and extend the same with honesty, willingly, etc. Then time is not far when you will be counted among the top personalities of the world, sacrifice your desires then expect good results.
