“The situation on Earth today is too dire for us to act from habit—to reenact again and again the same kinds of solutions that brought us to our present extremity. Where does the wisdom to act in entirely new ways come from? It comes from nowhere, from the void; it comes from inaction. When we see it, we realize it was right in front of us all along. It is never far away; yet at the same time it is in a different universe—a different Story of the World.”
― Charles Eisenstein, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible

“Non-doing simply means letting things be and allowing them to unfold in their own way.”

“The more people do, the more society develops, the more problems arise. The increasing desolation of nature, the exhaustion of resources, the uneasiness and disintegration of the human spirit, all have been brought about by humanity's trying to accomplish something. Originally there was no reason to progress, and nothing that had to be done. We have come to the point at which there is no other way than to bring about a "movement" not to bring anything about.”
― Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution

“Joy

Life's pure joy is in doing nothing, no wonder, we seldom experience it, for we are driven to do something or the other, all the time”

― Amar Ochani

“ARDUOUS EASE - A HAIKU

River's kind caress,
Rocks yield to its persistence,
Work with ease, sheer force.”
― Amogh Swamy, On My Way To Infinity: A Seeker's Poetic Pilgrimage

“I assure you that one who comprehends the truth of 'nothing to be attained' is already seated in the sanctuary where he will gain his Enlightenment.”
