While at our heart we are lit by the divine, it is up to each of us to discover what that means in practice. After all, there is no end of books, magazines, podcasts, YouTube videos and web sites (such as this one), filled with scriptural quotes, meditation practices, suggestions for how to clean your chakras and many a pithy saying.

In worship, we walk a fine line. The very process itself implies duality of a worshiper and object being worshipped. But we know that all we see, all this duality we experience is but an illusion. The worshipper and worshipped are one and the same. It is for the sake of conducting our daily living that we play at duality. That play includes rememberance and worship of the divine within us and the creation around us.

Even the greatest proponents of advaita (non duality), did not call for giving up worldly duties and worship. Nisargadatta Maharaj would say to those visiting him for wisdom and enlightenment — "Who says we do not sing bhajans (songs of love and gratitude to God) here?"

Perhaps the Shakers said it best - "Hands to work, hearts to God".
