What is the hardest thing for a human being? The hardest means that most likely will never be achieved or require something extremely special to be achieved.
Is it an action? Is it a physical action like climbing the tallest mountain? Is it a mental, intellectual action like figuring out how to solve a problem? Is it emotional resilience, like being able to survive emotionally amidst a certain crisis?
What is the hardest thing for a human being, regardless of skills, regardless of conditions? And if that thing is an action, what is the nature of such action that will most likely never be achieved?
Could it be that it is an inner action that can only be described as the action of non-action? Inner in the sense, activity of the mind. The action of non-action. The state where the mind is not active at all. Could it be the hardest thing for a human being to achieve that, to be in that state?
And do you see that if at all this is possible, it cannot be achieved even theoretically by action? There is no act, no effort, no intention, no progress toward non-action.
Is it possible that questioning, inquiring into the nature of this miraculous action of inner non-action, and staying with that unique openness of this question without any borders, any guidelines, any measures - could this be the action of non-action?
