Confusing activity with results

"It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about? Don't confuse activity with results. There is no reason to do a good job with something you shouldn't do in the first place.
-Henry David Thoreau

I have often said that the sole cause of man's unhappiness is that he does not know how to sit quietly in his room.
- Blaise Pascal

Man u are so much intellectual.
I am staying in tiruvannamalai, and i found your blog, searching about tiru.
What is the point what this man or the other famous man said? All are just words.
Can you relax in the here now? Here now is life and dont care about your bullshit mind.
Forget all that you are thinking or writing, they dont lead to anything.
