Stress as we know today is one of the major issues that faces the world, especially those working with deadlines in an overwhelmingly competitive environment. The result is a vicious circle of cause and effect.
Stress according to some:
Dictionary: pressure, tension; quantity measuring this; demand on physical or mental energy; emphasis
Jane Cranwell - Ward (author 'Thriving on Stress'): Stress is the physiological and psychological reaction which occurs when people perceive an imbalance between the level of demand placed upon them, and their capability to meet those demands.
Mick Wilson (Management Trainer): Stress can be defined as a perceptual arising from a comparison between the demands made on a person and their ability to cope with these demands. An imbalance in a person’s ability to cope when trying to deal with various situations gives rise to the experience of stress.
Osho (in HIS book 'The Psychology of Esoteric'): “The original source of all tension is becoming. One is always trying to be something; no one is at ease with himself as he is. The being is not accepted the being is denied, and something else is taken as an ideal to become. So the basic tension is always between that which you are and that which you long to become.
“You desire to become something - Tension means that you are not pleased with what you are, and you long to be what you are not. Tension is created between these two. What you desire to become is irrelevant. If you want to become wealthy, famous, powerful or even if you want to be free, liberated to be divine, immortal, even if you long for salvation, moksha, then too the tension will be there”.
Is there a way to drop out of STRESS?
A way that doesn't compromise efficiency, productivity, communication skills and conflict free interpersonal relationships?
A way that doesn't compromise values of family-life and at the same time commitment towards the organization and more importantly its bottom-line?
A way that enhances all the above along with a healthy lifestyle without compromising the pleasures of life, generally termed as not only trivial but a hindrance in the spiritual growth?
A way that allows scope for richness - material and spiritual both?
A way that is a synthesis of the joys of the body, mind, heart and soul?
The answer is: YES!

"Here we call work, worship, for the simple reason that work is not just work, it is meditation also. That's why we call it worship. Other than this we don't have any God to worship. We have only this existence around us.
So you can worship it as a gardener, you can worship it as a farmer, you can worship it as a road maker, you can worship any way you choose to. But whatever you are doing, you are doing with existence.
So the question is, if you are doing it lovingly, if you are doing it meditatively, and if, while you are doing it, you are nowhere else, you are just there with all of your being, nothing is missing - then work becomes worship. Work becomes worship because meditation has entered into it."
