"Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy."
~Kahlil Gibran
how true! i have experienced it time again and again that when someone loves you and they do something for you the result is outstanding, the love is made visible through that deed, no matter how small the task is. :)
for example i know someone who keep doing things mechanically and not enjoying at she should, the result being her work is just work done... without feeling and warmth and love.
if you cook food... u need your love for ppl ur cooking for as well as ur love for the cooking itself to make tasty food, or else u'll hv something to eat on table and nothing more. ever wonder y we all love our mother's food? bcz she puts a bit of love in it.
i made this quote my philosophy of my life, whatever i do i love it and if i can't love it after trying for sometime i leave the work [very reason for me leaving my various jobs]. jokingly i tell ppl that i don't do much bcz i don't love much! ;)
and in the end the faiz's poem "kuch ishq kia, kuch kaam kia" is the best example of scenario that is created bcz of lack of love
vo log bhut khush qismat thay
jo ishq ko kaam sanjhtay thay
ya kaam se aashqi karte thay
hum jeetay jee masroof rahay
kuch ishq kia kuch kaam kia
kaam ishq ke aaray aata raha
aur ishq se kaam uljhta raha
phir aakhir tung aakar hum nay
dono ko adhura chorr diya
