Swami Mukundananda
Why should I do my work honestly even when my heart isn't in it?
The carpenter who built his own house
A carpenter whose heart was not in his last job cut corners and used inferior material, and then found the house was a gift to him. If he had known he was building his own home, he would not have done shoddy work.
If only the carpenter had known he was building his own home, he would not have used inferior workmanship and material.
