With peaceful passivity is one inclined to be inactive?

Passivity must not lead to inactivity – otherwise it will encourage inertia in the being. It is only an inner passivity to what comes from above that is needed – inert passivity is the wrong kind of passivity. The true passivity does not lead to inactivity – but the physical may wrongly take the pressure of passivity for an invitation to inactivity.
