Divine Guidance from Yajurveda

The sacred command of Yajurveda is that the universe, both animate and inanimate, is pervaded by the Supreme Lord, who is the sustainer, controller, master, omnipotent, omniscient, and the embodiment of all virtues and welfare. Understanding this, keep the Lord always with you, constantly remembering Him, and perform your duties in this world with a sense of detachment solely for self-preservation and worship the universal form of the Lord through these actions. Do not let your mind get entangled in worldly affairs; this is the path to your welfare. In reality, these objects of enjoyment belong to no one. It is out of ignorance that humans develop attachment and possessiveness towards them. All these belong to the Supreme Lord and should be used for His purpose. Consume the offerings dedicated to the Lord and do not covet others' wealth.
