Being Until I Starve

[PetarKa]

Question:

How / Why do enlightened individuals do things that are anything but Being? I mean wouldn't one just Be and sit there in the beauty of it for days on end until he just dies from starvation / dehydration / lack of sleep?

That's my fear, that after enlightenment I will just "Be" myself to death...

What are your thoughts on this?

@PetarKa i dare you to die

You can be while doing. In fact you are doing it (being it) right now! 

Be the be-er (with a pretzel) 
Watch the do-er

The doer doesn't stop, just like you don't stop breathing at night.

@PetarKa Even Ekhart Tolle, the biggest advocate of being has been stressing the importance lately in his teachings of balancing out being and doing. As in everything, 50-50 is the best one can aim for.

Because life is also fucking exciting, a thousand times more so when you can be your natural self
