"Never mistake motion for action." ~Ernest Hemingway
Motion
To the disciples who were always asking for words of wisdom the Master said,
"Wisdom is not expressed in words. It reveals itself in action."
But when he saw them plunge headlong into activity, he laughed and said,
"That isn't action. That's motion."
~Anthony de Mello
"Sitting quietly, doing nothing, Spring comes, and the grass grows, by itself."~- Basho

P.S:When the mind,body and spirit work in unison......we are able to take inspired action joyously.....with total involvement ;
as opposed
to going through the motion....in a perfunctory
manner....one's mind...somewhere ...the body...... somewhere else and the spirit....conspicuous by its absence.
Namaste,
Bhagya
