Activity Quote by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

“Activity and rest are two vital aspects of life. To find a balance in them is a skill in itself. Wisdom is knowing when to have rest, when to have activity, and how much of each to have. Finding them in each other - activity in rest and rest in activity - is the ultimate freedom.” quote by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
