What if doing nothing is in itself your avowed occupation, as in zoning out, detached from the material world, aspiring for that state of bliss where you become one with everything? One could argue that it is not strictly doing nothing, for you have a goal and you are working towards it. But, still, the process does involve doing nothing, in a manner of speaking. This is why most of us find it difficult to stay still and meditate, or simply ‘be’ without engaging in some kind of action. Hence, ‘doing nothing’ is also something that is cultivated with diligent effort and focus. Which means, to do nothing is also hard work. When you really do nothing, your brain/mind gets its much-needed break, relieved from stress and strain.
