Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 STUDY GROUP on SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION CHAPTER 2 PRACTICE Abhyasa V25. Q. How can cessation of activity (nivritti) and peace of mind be attained in the midst of household duties which are of the nature of constant activity? M. As the activities of the wise man exist only in the eyes of others and not in his own, although he may be accomplishing immense tasks, he really does nothing. Therefore his activities do not stand in the way of inaction [nivritti] and peace of mind. For he knows the truth that all dharmas exist depending on him, whereas he does not exist being dependent on any of the activities. Therefore, he will remain calm, as a mere witness to all the activities that take place, being himself their support. ---- anu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
