Sometimes when one is working, although one likes to work and the body goes on acting, the mind seems tamasic and hinders one from living in the Mother and feeling her force. If there is tamas, does it still allow one to work as usual?

Yes, in this case it is not a tamas of the vital but a tamas of the mental physical which remains inert and passive.
