Jesus Christ knew that the mean man’s meanness and the petty woman’s pettiness were punishment enough in themselves.
When you are doing your best in your creation, the mind stops. You are alive again. Your emotions are coming out and you don’t even notice how great you feel. The action, just the action, makes you feel great. When you have inaction, your mind has to have action, and that is an open invitation for the voice of knowledge to talk to you. But when you are absorbed in what you are doing, the mind hardly speaks.
