CULTIVATE ADAPTABILITY

Never grumble when you do service to others. Take delight in service. Watch for opportunities to serve. Work is worship of the Lord.
Have an amiable, loving, sociable nature, have sympathy, adaptability, self-restraint, tolerance, love and mercy. Adjust yourself to the ways and habits of others. Be balanced even when you are insulted, when others use harsh words against you. Have a balanced mind in pleasure and pain, in heat and cold.
Karma Yoga prepares the mind the reception of light and knowledge. It expands the heart and breaks all barriers that stand in the way of oneness or unity. Karma Yoga is an effective Sadhana for the attainment of purity of heart, therefore, do selfless service constantly.
