work

You imagine one cannot do work if the mind (identification) is killed. Why do you suppose that it is the mind alone that can make one do work? There may be other causes which can also produce activity. Look at this clock, for instance. It is working without a mind. 

Again suppose we say the jnani has a mind. His mind is very different from the ordinary man’s mind. He is like the man who is hearing a story told with his mind all on some distant object. The mind rid of vasanas, though doing work, is not doing work. On the other hand, if the mind is full of vasanas, it is doing work even if the body is not active or moving.

- Sri Ramana Maharishi.
