​Bodhichitta is in your heart always, but when you are sloppy you do not communicate with it. You find something else to entertain yourself with. But you can always step back and reconnect with your bodhichitta. You could take an upright posture and expand yourself, then you could conduct your business. Working with bodhichitta has to be a natural process; you cannot strategize it on the spot. It is a question of how much at home you feel in your world. If you make your world homey, then you have no problem. You find that everything is hospitable. Even if you went to a hectic place like the New York Stock Exchange, with all the frantic people running around, you could sit down and make a decision about your investment.

--The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma, Volume Two: The Bodhisattva Path of Wisdom and Compassion, Chogyam Trungpa
