10 percent of time to be devoted to community and 90 percent to God or vice-versa

I was amazed to hear the other interpretation from a local caucasian guy about where we should spend our time. He said that his religion says to devote 10% to the community. Therefore, he believed that the other 90% of time must be devoted to God.

I was truely amazed to hear this and thought carefully about it.
Gurbani says - Hath paon kar kaam, chit niranjan naal. Let your hands and feet perform the jobs nessasary for daily living but keep your heart desiring the God.

Gurbani further says - Aathh pahar aradhiyai, puran satgur gyan.
Keep God in your conscience, 24 hours a day.

Talking of a Panjabi mentality, we are very aware of donating our 10% of money to the gurdwara and take this duty very seriously. It's ridiculous that 90% is much more than 10% and yet our focus in life is the 10%. on the same token, TIME is more important than MONEY but we worry more about donating money than devoting our thoughts to God.

It's actually appropriate to think about What is God at this point. If you believe that God is the Superconscious that created this uni-verse and that every particle of the physical world has God in it, then what are we to see in every being?

How are we to treat our customers, not how we speak politely because they buy our product. I mean, how are we to see our job/ duty to serve the humanity through the trade we have decided to adopt. I am getting at the doing our job consciously meaning that we must take responsibility for what we serve. If we serve poison when we are expected to serve the masses, who we are really serving is God. So when we hide behind the big names like Monsanto and other corporations and try to serve poison by pretending to be nameless worker - just a cog in the wheel; we need to know clearly that we are responsible for the time we are devoting to these Corporations.

Similarly, we have to be conscious of what we are buying. We can't simply blame others for our misery. We chose to be a customer of a corporation selling poison, then we must endure the cosequences.

So back to the Conscience - think very carefully about what thoughts are occupying our Mind and also of the actions / jobs we are performing with our hands to earn the money. Buddha talks of the Eight right things to do, Right Job is one of them. If you are doing a job that your heart / conscience doesn't agree to, then you are on the wrong path.
