Activity, inactivity, non-activity

Activity and inactivity belongs to mind and body.
non-activity belongs to Self.
As far as mind+body is concerned, better to be active. Self is witness. It doesnt do anything. Can mind+body remain like that ? not possible. The agitations of mind is caused by the classic enemies of human. They are the arishadvarga (Desire, Anger, Greed, Attachment, Arrogance/Pride, Jealousy), the 6 enemies. Convert them into 6 positive opposite values (Giving, forgiving, Charity, non-attachment, humbleness, and appreciation).

Why should one develop the above so called positive qualities, are they really positive ?
Yes, they are good for a person. One can feel pain in body caused by emotions that come out of the 6 enemies. When one goes through the so called positive emotions, there is a feeling that happens in the body that is desirable.

What is the method/training to achieve above good qualities ?
So much has been told by countless seers, saints etc in the past. So there is no lack of literature. What is lacking is application of them. It is better to do practice for 1 min than read about practice. The only way is to practice.

What is practice ?
Find a person who is absolutely peaceful (Sadguru) and ask him what made him peaceful. He may show a way. Follow it.

Who is Sadguru ?
Who can make you peaceful. Guru can be anyone or anything from which you can learn. Keep learning from life's instances. See Guru in everything and everyone. This world is a big university , hence named as Universe. This is there to teach you. The silent humming of universe is telling something. Listen to the humming. Be silent. The mountain is silent. The trickling water is making a sound, when you stop treating it as noise, you can listen to it and there is a silence in that sound too.
Is river active, inactive or non-active ?
