Work is merely a schooling for the doer; it can do no good to others. We must work out our own problem. The prophets only show us how to work. "What you think, you become." So if you throw your burden on Jesus, you will have to think of him and thus become like him--you love him.
Retreat given at the Thousand Island Park, USA. June 24, 1895. Complete Works, 7.9.
By "it can do no good to others," Swamiji means that it can do no lasting good to others.
Whatever good we do to others is temporary. To the doer, though, work done as yoga
brings purity of mind, which is not temporary.
