My opinion is that I will engage people in countless activities, but will not allow them to become absorbed in them, nor allow them to become attached to them and I shall warn against them. If others join people in work, they submerge them in it and even when retired from it, their thoughts are preoccupied with it. My opinion is that one should not become submerged in doing work nor be preoccupied with its thought after stopping it. As we have responsibilities, we have to do the work, but do not feel fulfilled merely by the work.
