What can be achieved by doing nothing?

Question

What can be achieved by doing nothing?
...by just being still...?

Answer

This is a fantastic question if we take it seriously enough!!brbrI think far more can be achieved by doing nothing than by doing anything in particular. Doing nothing is not very different from doing everything not literally of course, but sort of mentally...... it can give us the broader picture of life and most of the key turning points in our lives do take place after such a stint by us, whether knowingly or subconsciously. brbrEven a higher order of doing nothing is not to even let our thoughts wander about... this is the top stair of quotMeditationquot which is known to have produced even the Highest Reward that we can ever imagine, namely, Enlightenment as conceptualized in Buddhism or even quotSamadhiquot the ancient Hindu concept of moving out of the physical body to merge with the Supreme Soul...... in fact, Meditation even of a lower order does produce peace of mind, clarity of thought, refurbishment of enthusiasm, a balanced approach to life so much so that in the modern times of stress and strife, even physicians have begun to prescribe meditation as the treatment for various physical ailments!!brbrWell, that really means a lot, but the trouble is that it is not at all easy for us to do nothing for any continuously sustained period of time in a life and universe that is so compulsively dynamic!!
