Physical Labour ( Body Labour )
Physical
Labour
A farmer, while he was ploughing his field,
once asked, “kindly tell me about the dignity of labour”. In response, he said,
“perform physical labour so that you are in unison with the universe and the
soul of universe.
To be lazy and to be indifferent to
the seasons amount to walking against the very process of life that marches
towards the infinite, taking pride in the total surrender.
When you are performing labour, you
are like a flute which transforms the soft sound made by the passing time into
divine music the moment it comes in contact with the soul of the flute. And
when the whole universe is resonating a symphony in one
voice, who among you wants to be a dumb, voiceless machine?
You have always been
taught that to perform physical labour is a curse and anyone performing it is
unfortunate. But I’m telling you that performing labour is the same as loving
life. To love life by performing labour is to unfold the secrets of life.
- Khalil Gibran
