Another angle on this question of ’doing’. Man cannot ’do’, in his usual state - it’s a complete illusion. He doesn’t do - ’it’ does. A person might see that and say: “Well, no wonder I don’t have such a high regard for myself. I don’t know what I’m doing, I really don’t have control over it. So, I don’t really feel very proud.”
Now, let’s say a person had a more thoughtful background and was able to understand some of what is written here. Look - there are three major elements in ’doing’, relative to a ’conscious being’.
1) Why are you doing it.
2) What are you doing.
3) What ’state’ are you in when you are doing it.
