| BkV:17.IV.15 | Detachment from action is not attainable through passive inactivity. Neither is truth reachable by mere renunciation. You cannot be inactive in the world even for a moment. Everything is irrevocably driven to action by vital forces. If you abstain from action, but remain identified with the body and what your senses show you, you cannot enjoy the peace of God because neither the body nor the intellect are the source of wisdom. |
