To pray to God or to work as God wants us to work: which is the better of the two?

I am happy to answer this question of questions. The answer is quite simple. To pray to God or to work as God wants us to work — both ways are of supreme importance. Both are certain means to an inevitable end. And that end is God-realisation.
