It is not vast quantities of mechanical work that appeals to the Divine, but it is the link with the divine consciousness established through that work that matters.  This consideration of the spirit in which the work is done is of the utmost relevance to all of us who want to progress toward divine consciousness.  When one is conscious during work, that quality of consciousness is naturally imparted to what one is working with or upon.  Such work retains the vibration of that person and they link others immediately with that cause.
