As requested by you, for the benefit of man kind.
from 1.5.32

very non secular
dedicate our activities unto the mercy of the Lord and accept Him either as impersonal Brahman, localized Paramātmā or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It does not matter what one is.

If one is a learned scholar, scientist, philosopher, poet, etc., then he should employ his learning to establish the supremacy of the Lord. Try to study the energy of the Lord in every sphere of life. Do not decry Him and try to become like Him or take His position simply by fragmental accumulation of knowledge.
 
If one is an administrator, statesman, warrior, politician, etc., then one should try to establish the Lord's supremacy in statesmanship.
 
if one is businessman, an industrialist, an agriculturist, etc., then one should spend his hard-earned money for the cause of the Lord. Think always that the money which is accumulated is the wealth of the Lord.

The best thing is, after all, to get relief from all material activities and engage oneself completely in hearing the transcendental pastimes of the Lord.

But in case of the absence of such an opportunity, one should try to engage in the service of the Lord everything for which one has specific attraction, and that is the way of peace and prosperity.


HpS - Jaya!   This letter came two month ago but we could just get to it now after all this travel. Very nice citations.  Different individuals, but also similar individuals at different levels of development, so one dictum is keep making progress, no?   Make spiritual progress an essential element of our religion.
