The mind of an ignorant entering into the phenomenal world, suffers pain and anguish... "It is pleasant under the shade of a tree and scorching in the heat of the sun outside. A person toiling in the sun seeks the cool shade of the tree and is happy under it. After staying there for a while, he moves out again but, unable to bear the merciless heat of the sun, he again seeks the shade. In this way he keeps on moving from shade to sun and sun to shade." "It is an unwise person who acts thus, whereas the wise man never leaves the shade; in the same way the mind of the Enlightened Sage (Jnani) never exists apart from Brahman, The Absolute." "The mind of an ignorant, on the other hand, entering into the phenomenal world, suffers pain and anguish; and then, turning for a short while towards Brahman, it experiences happiness. Such is the mind of the ignorant." ~ Ramana Maharshi ID: 4|4|3:R34
