Emedinews:Inspiration:The value of sincerity of purpose

A story is told of a man who approached three workers who were doing the same job. "What are you doing?" he asked each one of them separately and got different answers. "I am cutting the stones" replied the first. "I am earning my livelihood," replied the second. "I am building a mosque" replied the third. Each of the three workers saw himself linked to a different purpose.

Each one was to that extent, different from others, although all worked alike and were engaged in the same task. Our two hands with which we work are in no sense different from the hands of any other person.

The value of what we do depends upon the quality of the inner purpose in our heart with which we do our work.
