To be done with doing, would appear to require passive income?

No need for an income at all if you are going to be a monk.

This is the problem with modern spirituality, we take teachings meant for ascetics and try to apply it without a teacher to our, very far from acetic life.

Mediation s goal isn't to help you be more productive. Prayer isn't for getting a better car or in lieu of life insurance.

  • There are some useful lessons to be drawn, though. One of them being that even the monks will kick you out if you just slack off all day.
