About work and enlightenment

I came to think of the Nepalese, who seem quite nasty and argumentative, yet somehow connected with Buddhism. What if someone in some situation withsuch a person or a young adult, would kind of give room for the wise theory perspective of the civiliced wisdom of the society and of the world and of Buddhism, and on the other hand momentarily kind of hold back from following urge & commands to find work just like a continuartion of sholl, running after money, without so much freedom, and command the yung adults for a moment to some healthy kind of labour like gardening work or sports hobby, that they first do not agree about because it isn't so single eyed as they were commanded, but when they start doing it, it is kind of wise and pleasant and healthy, and the difference in opinions makes them trust more their own wisdom of lifeand the wisdom of the wisse theory perspectives that are society's guide for happy rewarding life, freedom etc.

Knitting enlightenment

"About the pleasantness of knitting (Knitting enlightenment, if such is possible)
I didn't just now succeed in knitting according to this piece of advice of mine, but usually if one conceives things while in thinking perspective, especially if it is a rigid formal perspective like counting silently aloud in one's mind, if one so sees practical action and practical action is left somehow to the side, to not so successfull, one then does not feel so well while knitting or while doing something else in practise, like moving for example. But if one drowns to the doing, mostly without words, at the level of the senses and common sense, feelings, atmospheres, thrown to the doing which touches and fascinates the instinct nature, one then so feels much better and the things done succeed much better, it is more pleasant to do when one has dedicated the right kind of attention to it and left away cumbersome or nasty things from those that one does at the same time."

I do not consider knitting so good for meditation, since the sphere of attention is in it so narrow and it is so repetitive, not good for the intellect. But maybe this piece of advice could be used in some other area of life?
