Doing brings ego. Ego is the shadow of action. And there is only one thing that is not doing and that is awareness, watchfulness.

It is so pure that light can pass through it - it is transparent and no shadow is created.

A man who can do everything fully consciously becomes a luminous phenomenon. He is all light, and his whole life is full of fragrance and flowers. The mechanical man lives in dark holes, dirty holes.
