THERE IS NO SUPERIOR IN INFERIOR
In nature, every job is equally important. There is no superior or inferior work. If you feel comfortable with a job, and if you can perform it with joy, that’s your work. You can perform any work with joy if you know that every job is equally good. You lose your joy of doing things when you don’t understand the importance of them, when you compare your work with someone else’s work. There is no blue-collar work, white collar work.
If you want to see it that way, your legs are doing blue-collar work. Your head is doing white-collar work. Is it not so? Your blue-collar workers have to take the white-collar worker wherever it wants to go. We are the ones who create all the superiority/inferiority. The world needs everything. Every action is equally good. Do them all with joy.
“Yoga expands the mind by a slow process and by your own work, without external influence. Your will is developed gradually. It is like a fruit that takes its own time to ripen and become sweet. It becomes steady, not by any outside chemical force, not by a sudden pick-up but in its own time.” - Swami Satchidananda
