Maybe I get this part?

"Abandoning attachment to fruits/of action, always content, independent,/he does nothing at all/even when he engages in action" (4.17, p54)

Ok so I think I may finally get something in this. This quote, which is an echo of earlier teachings, is one of the first things I actually think I understand in these Eastern writers. I understand this as saying that when gain is not sought, when things are done for others and for the common good, it's not like acting but more just living 'the way,' because acting implies doing something out of the ordinary and if one is living the way then everything he does is ordinary so there is no action... or something. So maybe it's harder to explain than to understand, but my question is this; am I actually understanding at all? Or am I missing some different point that is much more complex? Or am I just making too big of a deal out of this "revelation" and I need to try to understand the more important stuff, which is by nature of being more important, harder to "get?" I'm just wary of my lack of confusion...
