As soon as we identify ourselves with the work we do, we feel miserable; but if we do not identify ourselves with it, we do not feel that misery.

Swami Vivekananda
Attachment, Misery, Miserable
Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Karma Yoga: The Yoga of Action”, p.58, Advaita Ashrama
As soon as we identify ourselves with the work we do, we feel miserable; but if we do not identify ourselves with it, we do not feel that misery.
