| - Accomplishment is the process of converting energy into results. The level of accomplishment depends on the level at which we carry out the work.
* Physical work: When we simply expend our energy in hard physical work, doing everything ourselves without really thinking about things before hand, we get the minimum result and it take a longer time to accomplish. When we carry out routine work on a daily basis we may simply take up each new task as it comes to us without much forethought or overall organization.
* Organized work: When we organize the work we are doing, we use our energy and time more efficiently. The result is greater and it comes more rapidly. When we get an important assignment, we prepare in advance, consider all the steps and requirements, plan out a schedule and sequence of steps, contact people in advance to ensure their availability, assign specific tasks to other people, etc. In a word, we ‘organize’ the work. We may do all of this based on our past experience without applying our minds to invent anything new or do anything differently than in the past. But the result will be far better than taking up the task in a routine manner.
* Mental work: To work mentally is to actively apply our minds to fully understand how the work should be done and try to discover how to improve the way it is carried out. When we take the effort to fully understand the nature of the work we are doing and apply that understanding in creative ways, we can accomplish much more in a much shorter time. When American industrialist Henry Kaiser organized the production of Liberty ships during World War II, he found he could build a new freighter in about 30 days time. After studying the process of ship building very carefully and applying their minds to every stage of the process, Kaiser and his team found a way to eventually reduce the production time on new ships to 4.5 days – a 700% improvement in efficiency! That is the difference between organized work and work done by applying the creative powers of mind. These are the three ways in which we commonly carry out work, depending on the nature of the task, its size, complexity and importance. But there is also a forth way to accomplish work.
* Spiritual work: Any work can be done even more easily, rapidly and effectively by a higher method which may be termed spiritual. ‘’’This article describes the principles of a spiritual method for higher accomplishment that can be applied to achieve any professional, monetary or personal goal.’’’
