Shall we not remember God while doing our works like an atheist?

[Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: - While answering the question of Ms. Bhanusamaikya, You said that we shall not remember God while doing our works like an atheist. If we remember God e.g. “God will take care of this”, at least we are remembering God.]

Swami replied: - We can remember God in several good ways. You are scolding somebody continuously and say that at least you are remembering that somebody continuously! You can remember that person while praising him continuously. Is this the only way to remember somebody? Parents always remember their issues in several ways and among such ways, one way is not to remember the child thinking that when the child will repay the amount spent on it. A business man always remembers the customer thinking that when the customer would come to the shop to purchase something and do you say that the business man is really loving the customer to remember him always in this way? The business man remembers the customer for the sake of the welfare of his business and not due to the real love possessed by him on the customer. Remembering the customer in this way does not establish the business man to be the real lover of the customer.
