Balance

It is essential that you neither despise nor grasp for either the realm of activity or that of quietude, and that you continue your practice assiduously.
Frequently you may feel that you are getting nowhere with practice in the midst of activity, whereas the quietistic approach brings unexpected results. Yet rest assured that those who use the quietistic approach can never hope to enter into meditation in the midst of activity.

-Hakuin, "Zen Master Hakuin"
