Man asks God, “Give me everything to enjoy life.”
God replies, “You are life itself mistaking yourself to be the man. Ignorance is the root cause of your desires & suffering.”

Empty Mind
Due to the laws of nature, it is impossible to remain inactive. Therefore, it is necessary to do the right thing. Doing right thing means (1) doing things according to swabhava/nature (2) not doing something against your conscience. An empty mind can become devil’s workshop by doing wrong work. Or, an empty mind can be consumed by random thoughts draining vital energy compromising health. An attitude of doing natural work considering it as your need to do so is Karma-Yoga.

Deep Desire Causes Creation Quote
Note how daydreams and hallucinations are clearly pictured in the mind even in the absence of any reality behind them. How does it happen? The place of objects it taken up by the peculiar imaginative quality of the mind. When such imagination is deep, it takes shape as creation.
