Hi tanemon, some good points you raise. I think what sai baba is talking about in the passage you put up, is not so much about payment but about focus. He means don`t be focused on the outcome of your work, the fruits as it were, but be focused on the `doing`. He isn`t saying don`t work for money, he is saying don`t be focused on the money or other things that will come later that you are going to get when you undertake the work, rather, immerse yourself in the job or task your doing and enjoy the doing, be in the now rather than focused on what comes later.

Thanks. Your comment brings it into the realm of practicality (and good advice).

I REALLY love this description from Sai Baba, of the process of enlightenment and what its all about
All materials in this world will disappear after some time. The principle of Atma alone is imperishable. What is the Atmic Principle? That which pervades the entire body is Atma. You should try to broaden your mind by which you can merge in Divine Consciousness. For example, take a balloon and blow it. It grows bigger and bigger. As it gradually increases size, it also becomes thinner. After a point it becomes so thin than it bursts. Where does the air in that balloon go? It merges with the air outside, which is present everywhere. Thus conscience merges with the consciousness which is present everywhere. This is referred to as liberation, the final goal or emancipation. You can give it many names; they are not important. The goal is important. You must try to achieve this unity with Consciousness, and you can attain this by practising spirituality at all times with all your determination.
