Sober activity is required

Speaker: Srila Prabhupada
Source: How to see the Absolute truth

Foolish activity has no meaning. Without brain, simply active, that is dangerous. Sober activity is required. Just like a high court judge. He is paid very lump sum, money, but he’s sitting on his chair and simply thinking. The others may think that “We are working so hard, we are not getting so big salary, and this man is getting so big salary. He’s sitting only.” Because foolish activity has no value, it is dangerous. So this modern world, they’re very active, but they’re foolishly active, in the ignorance and passion, rajas tamas. Therefore there is confusion activity, foolish activity, there is accident. Sober activity required.
