Serenity …. in the Midst of Activity

The peoples of the crowded Orient generally know this feeling of “serenity in the midst of activity”. It is not by refraining from action that we achieve it, but by maintaining a firm, unchanging center in the midst of disturbance. . . . This serenity should spill over into our everyday lives, making possible a calm and joyous interior even during the most hectic times.
