I thought of this topic while doing yard work yesterday. I have written a poem on another blog, "Is Yard Work Devotional Service?", [http://connect.krishna.com/node/2955] which speaks of this topic, though now I am looking at it differently. In a number of places Prabhupada speaks of persons doing the same work with different results due to their intention and consciousness. As aspiring devotees of Krishna, we want to live our life in relationship to Krishna, offering him any activity as we do...

When the student is ready
the guru is sent to help
by the grace of Shri Krishna

Then life after life
spiritual progress made
until one loves Krishna completely
having no need for the world.
Everything begins by a saint's blessing
sometimes unknowingly...
