Wonderful deeds get done in non-doing

The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Before doing anything we always and usually ask, “What will happen if I do this?” — That is our worldly practice, and even in the domain of Truth, we try that.

We say, “What will happen if I get to the Truth?” and the answer comes — All the falseness will be burnt down. Now, you are living in falseness. Everything around us is false and if falseness is burnt down then our whole world is burnt down.

We are attached to the world, if this world would be burnt down due to the Truth then let the Truth keep waiting, “I will remain the seeker of the Truth.”

~ Acharya Prashant

Question (Q): The observation is that if the desire is dropped, if the intensity, the act is dropped, then it results in a certain dullness. Please help me understand this.
