Life experiences come as heat and cold, joy and sorrow, honour and insult - as a fruit of my actions, through my body and mind.
In my core I am the deathless Atman, not mind or body. I am full of bliss and a wave in the ocean of Ishwara.
I can reach my core by withdrawing from the outer world. Then I see that all creation is connected as so many waves - dynamic, evolving, creative - parts of the same ocean.
Then I continue to live through my mind and body without forgetting my core and my wrongly identifying myself with outer experiences. I don't do different things then, but do the same things differently - more lovingly and blissfully.
