There's a Hindi adage, 'Khaali na baith kuchh kiya kar/ Bhale hi pajama phaad kar siya kar' - Don't sit idle. Do something instead/ Even if that amounts to tearing your pyjama and sewing it over and over. For a seeker, physical work has great value. The more one's involved in some kind of work, the more one's consciousness will start becoming contended. Some physical labour is absolutely essential for the agility of the body, the complete alertness of the mind and the total awakening of the being.
