If you say: "Better I shall not do anything," no, that also will not be permitted. You cannot stop acting: at the same time, you cannot take the fruitive result of your activities. And if you think that, "Oh, I am not going to . . ." Just like in India one business friend, he was selling my books. He was telling, "We are not going to make any huge business this year, because if we do business, the profit is more, the whole thing will be taken by government by income tax. So we are stopping to work, to have more business." This is the position. Because our mind is so inclined that if I cannot enjoy the fruit of my activities, then I am disinclined.
Perhaps you know, there is a proverb in English that "Proprietorship turns sand into gold." A person working on his own account, oh, he can turn sand into gold, but a person working for others' account, oh, that is not possible. He will be slow. He will be slow, because the purpose is that "Why shall I work so hard? It will be enjoyed . . ." Just like our business friend was speaking to me that, "Why shall we work so hard and make huge profit that the whole thing will be taken by the government?" But here the Lord says that, "You cannot stop your work, neither you can enjoy the activities, the fruit of your activities." That is the work on spiritual plane.
