Working for the Master

The test that the Master gives here should be applied to all our work.Suppose you are writing a letter;if you knew that the Master would come and read it over, it would be very carefully written, both as to its contents and its form.Whatever your work is, it is His work, if it is the best you can do;whether it is something that the Master wants done for some immediate purpose , or something that prepares you for his future work.Everything is for Him,if we are His;it cannot be for anybody else.Make this your normal and continual attitude of mind, and you make the atmosphere in which one-pointedness can grow.
You will continue to hold this thought foremost in your minds all through the time that you are disciples;all have to make the habit,and when it is made they must go on strengthening it.That will help us to do with all our might whatever work we have.We must do it with our might because so it becomes part of the divine work, and because of the training of character it gives.Make your work quite true,allowing nothing second rate to pass.
-Annie Besant, Talks on the Path of Occultism Volume 1
