Teaser Tuesday (23-3)

Give us this day our Tuesday Tease -- from Should Be Reading.

In this world there are two main paths:

the yoga of understanding,

for contemplative men; and for men 

who are active, the yoga of action.

Not by avoiding actions

does a man gain freedom from action

and not by renunciation

alone, can he reach the goal

- pg. 62 of Stephen Mitchell's The Bhagavad Gita: chapter 3, verses three and four. It makes me think of the old struggle between the active and contemplative lives, as well as Buddha's "middle way".
