“What is the difference between active and “busy?” I want to see. That’s why we have to take care. Lazy and relaxed. It’s easy to confuse these two. Busy and active. It’s easy to confuse these. We really have to look deeply inside with our inner eye to watch this. Lazy is different than “relaxed.” You can be active and still be relaxed inside. You can still be very active and do nothing! You know, they say that God is the best “doer” because he doesn’t move…Before I used the clock as an example. The secondhand is so busy…Our inside is like the “hour arm” of a clock—stillness. The outside of us can be–“May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift.” You can do this. This way you can balance your life—your inner world and the outside world. You have to do it!”
~ Yuan Miao
