DOING, NON DOING ..

From childhood itself it is encouraged in us TO DO something.. It seems so harmless then. As we grow up and face things in the outer world, slowly this DOING something becomes an essential part of us. Infact, it becomes us. For one begins to wonder, what is one without DOING something. And this non-acceptance of non-doing brings a lot of disturbance in what we do and in our lives, that is in us itself.
I wonder how many of us are able to just "be" and not restless in the "being". And even if restless, then not escape from the restlessness by DOING something.
This clearly implies, how can a source -that is so restless and chaotic - DO something that is fruitful/pure in its very essence ? I wonder, if this is possible ?? Or should it be other way round..
In "being" if we are at peace with ourselves, then wouldn't the DOING itself be nothing but creation and joy ? As then the so called DOING will be without any motive to achieve or ambition..
And that is the real doing.. or the non-doing - without there being a DOER .. just the act itself..
