Whoever one may be, they have to engage themselves to do some work, whatever it might be. The one who engages in karma (work), renouncing the fruit of all action and following the discipline of silence, can within a short time, realize Divinity. For such souls, work is like breathing and life is impossible without it. This should be the essential trait for every aspirant. Agitation and restlessness (asanthi) comes only when the fruit of the action is desired. If the fruit is disregarded and joy is derived from the very activity itself, then one gets undisturbed inner peace (prasanthi). No one ever thinks of the results and benefits of doing the karma of breathing...is it not? So too, when work is done, never worry about its result. This will give you real Prasanthi.
-Divine Discourse, Prasanthi Vahini.
