Sri Anandamayi Ma

[Davino]

The human brain may be compared to the root of a tree; if the root is watered, nourishment spreads to every part of the plant. There are occasions when you say your brain is tired. When does this happen? When you are very busy with outer things. But as soon as you return home and talk to your loved ones, your head feels light and you are full of joy. For this reason it is said, because your brain belongs to yourself, your own work does not produce weariness.

 

Really speaking, all work is your work - only how can you understand this? Indeed the whole world is yours, of your Self, your very own - but you perceive it as separate, just as you see ‘others.’

 

To know it to be your own gives happiness, but the notion that it is apart form you causes misery.

 

To perceive duality means pain, conflict, struggle and death.
