The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pagan and Christian Creeds by Edward Carpenter: of action. But that fact need not imprison our inner minds.
While acting even with keenness and energy along the external
and necessary path before us, it is perfectly possible to hold
the mind free and untied--so that the RESULT of our action (which
of course is not ours to command) shall remain indifferent and
incapable of unduly affecting us. Similarly, when it is our part
to remain externally INACTIVE, we may discover that underneath
this apparent inaction we may be taking part in the currents of a
deeper life which are moving on to a definite end, to an end or
object which in a sense is ours and in a sense is NOT ours.
