Did you travel last year at all?

Do you know that we have traveled about 600 million miles (940 million kilometers) in space -

just in the last year alone?

So - No one should complain that they were stuck at their home for the whole year - that they were not able to go anywhere because of the lockdown.

We thought we were stationary but in fact, we have taken a ride along with the earth and traveled a great distance in space - without even realizing - without feeling that we were moving at over 60,000 miles (110,000 km) per hour speed.

As per Bhagavad Geeta: This is Action in Non-action - and Non-action in Action.

We sleep in our bed at night and after hours of sleep - we wake up in the same bed in the morning.

We did nothing but sleep, and yet, there was so much action and movement during the hours of non-action on our part. We had traveled millions of miles along with the earth - without intentionally moving even an inch from our place. 

This may be called Action in Non-action. 

If we look at the same scenario from another angle, there was so much action - movement at such a high speed, and yet we feel as if we were stationary - totally inactive. 

We can call it Non-action while in Action.

This happens to us all the time - unknowingly - without realizing - without our knowledge.

Bhagavad Geeta says: a Sthitpragna Gyani knowingly - consciously lives in this state of mind.
He can stay calm and stable in the middle of chaos and turmoil - that is Non-action in Action.

And alternatively, he could be performing a lot of action while seemingly being non-active - or by not doing anything at all.

Knowingly - intentionally and consciously going into the mode of Non-action in Action - is the way and quality of Gyanis - the enlightened ones.
