Till then our austerities help! Hari Om! Sadananda [Madhava Replies:] Every austerity that is performed requires some amount of Physical, mental and intellectual action. Bhagawad Gita - Ch 6-3. For a MUNI or sage who "wishes to attain to YOGA, " action is said to be the means; for the same sage who has "attained to YOGA, " inaction (quiescence) is said to be the means.

True - here 'inaction' not from the action point - He will be acting more dynamically and efficiently more than any ego-centric person. At the same time he has no notion that 'he' is the actor. 'He' does not act, but action goes on efficiently. 'yogaH karmasu koushhalam'. Hari Om! Sadananda K.
