Action in a State of Meditation !


To just act with total commitment in our chosen task at hand without thinking any further in that moment, is like being in-action with such a relaxed focus that nothing else matters - thirst, hunger, sleep, comfort, win, loss, gain, pain, time, money, relations, self, others...nothing absolutely nothing. This deed would indeed qualify as being executed in a state of meditation, like being completely absorbed by the powerful present moment - when the task, the deed and the doer just blend inseparably into a single string with time and space.

If after the completion of such an action, some questions sluggishly snake in your head - Did I do it? When did I start?, How did i do it? Wow? and you have few, faint, far-between recollections of the events during the execution of your ensemble engrossment...then you probably would have been there. This feeling is also described by sportsmen, the actors, the writers, the dancers, the speakers as 'The Zone', wherein they just become oblivious of the obvious around them. Such action definitely bears timeless fruits beyond any statistical logic, which are way beyond those born to a thought out action.

So, essentially when you pre-calcuate your actions with logic, you receive fruits equal to or less than calculations - account for some gains lost in neural transactions; But when you just act beyond the limits of thoughts, space and time, you are poised to receive beyond calculus.
