No one can remain even for a moment without activity, but usually actions that lead to complications and misery. Swami Paramananda explains what right action is and how it can solve our problems.
The human soul has sojourned in lower and higher forms, migrating from one to another according to the samskaras or impressions, but it is only in the highest form as a human being that it attains to freedom.
-Swami Vivekananda
