Living does not simply mean dragging yourself around from day-to-day, from bed to work, back home & to bed again.
The whole process repeats itself until the weekend comes.
Then you drag yourself to some recreation in the hope of forgetting yourself,

which is why recreation becomes so important.
In fact, your whole life can be a recreation.
Someone once asked a Swami, ‘Swamiji, do you not take any holidays? You seem to be working everyday.’
In fact, the Swami’s life is one long holiday.

If you enjoy what you do, life is very simple.
If you do not enjoy what you do, then you have to do something in order to enjoy, which can be very costly.
On the other hand, any pleasure that comes out of your maturing process is a different type of joy. Not hurting someone or

doing the right thing at the right time, for instance, gives you joy, if not immediately, later.
Suppose, you have postponed doing something like the laundry, vacuuming or letter writing,
the day you decide to do it, & do it, you find that there is a joy in finally

having done it, a joy that is neither pleasure nor security.
It is just doing what is to be done; it is dharma.
For now, it is enough to know that as you grow in your understanding, your dharma also grows.
The more mature you are, the more dhārmika you become.
