Just a curiosity... OK, overthinking. BG 3.9 says
yajnarthat karmano ’nyatra
loko ’yam karma-bandhanah
tad-artham karma [kaunteya]
mukta-sangah samacara
"In this world all actions [O son of Kunti], unless they are done as an offering to God become causes of bondage. Therefore, work for the sake of God without personal attachments."
My job is rather hard, both physically and believe it or not, mentally. Physical activity is almost non-stop, and the mental stress comes from dealing with sometimes-difficult customers, noise, and sometimes-difficult coworkers.
I know the
oṁ śuklāmbaradharam viśṇum śaśivarṇaṁ caturbhujam
prasanna vadanaṁ dhyāyet sarva vighnopaśāntaye
I was wondering if there's a prayer or mantra specifically to offer one's job duties. Of course I could learn the Bhagavad Gita verse to remember that I should just offer my trials and tribulations to God.
Hmm ...
