Awe of God in creation leads to doing everything as worship, everything is for God, in God, and furthers the experience of divine communion. No longer is meditation restricted to discrete periods of time in a seated pose, meditation is the conscious awareness of the omnipresence of God that fills the devotee's heart day and night. Work becomes a song of praise offered in delight.
