18.56 It is the sense of responsibility which is samsara. The wise who are of the form of
emptiness, formless, unchanging and spotless see no such thing.
18.57 Even when doing nothing the fool is agitated by restlessness, while a skilful man remains
undisturbed even when doing what there is to do.
18.58 Happy he stands, happy he sits, happy sleeps and happy he comes and goes. Happy he
speaks, and happy he eats. Such is the life of a man at peace.
18.59 He who of his very nature feels no unhappiness in his daily life like worldly people,
remains undisturbed like a great lake, all sorrow gone.
18.60 Even abstention from action leads to action in a fool, while even the action of the wise
man brings the fruits of inaction.
