M.: It is in the mind that birth and death, pleasure and pain, in short the world and ego exist. So, leave it to the higher power you cannot renounce or retain as you choose. If you are destined not to work, work cannot be had even if you hunt for it if you are destined to work, you will not be able to avoid it you will be forced to engage yourself in it. Make no effort either to work or to renounce your effort is the bondage. Then the work will not bind you it will go on automatically. Ask yourself ‘who works?’ Remember who you are.

His is the true state and also the primal and natural state of being. He looks on everything with unconcern and remains blissful himself. His nature does not change and his state is not affected in the least. The Jnani is fully aware that the true state of Being remains fixed and stationary and that all actions go on around him. But that does not prevent him from saying that he has travelled all the way as if he exerted himself to move every foot of the way.

The screen itself does not move but remains stationary. The pictures certainly move on the screen yet do not affect it. The Jnani however considers only the screen and not the pictures.
