Eating, bathing, going to the toilet, talking, thinking, and many other activities related to the body are all work. How is it that the performance of one particular act is alone (considered) work? To be still is to be always engaged in work. To be silent is to be always talking.
Ramana Maharshi

Without seeing the origin of light, the true form of one's Self, the ordinary man sees by the mind different things and is deluded.

Such happiness is relative and is better called pleasure or satisfaction.
Ramana Maharshi

Turn the mind inward and cease thinking of yourself as the body thereby you will come to know that the self is ever happy. Neither grief nor misery is experienced in this state.
Ramana Maharshi
