RE: Illuminated Manuscripts at the Getty Museum Took Me Back to the Book of Kells (and Had Me Briefly Considering a Vow of Chastity)

Excellent points. That's something to strive towards, working right without the expectation of reward. To be fair to people in the modern world, the cost of living is high and people need some fruits, but that's a wonderful goal.

Sort:  

To be Honest, Working without expectation is a very hard priciple to follow. Lets take steem for example,Most of us are here with some kind of expectation.😋
But the whole idea of the Bhagavad Gita to forbid expectation is the fact that it leads to Disappointment, which inturn leads to Anger. As we all know, Anger is not good for work and can only cause distruction.
Isn't it so Amazing how well the Ancient civilizations wrote this philosophy?

Many artists would be happy to have just the basics taken care of so that they can continue doing that thing they love so much. The great cathedrals took generations to complete, but somehow the vision was kept alive. Maybe we just don't have long enough attention span to keep a dream going. But that can change...
