Seeing "not seeing"ly, working "not working"ly

Walking to work, the thought of 'Seeing "not seeing"ly, working "not working"ly' arose.

Cf. Bhagavad GItA verse V.8-9

नैव किञ्चित् करोमीति युक्तो मन्येत तत्त्ववित् ।
पश्यञ्श्रृण्वन्स्पृशञ्जिघ्रन्नश्नन्गच्छन्स्वपञ्श्वसन् ॥

"I do nothing at all", thus the Truth-knower thinks, although seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, going, sleeping breathing.

प्रलपन्विसृजन्गृह्णन्नुन्मिषन्निमिषन्नपि ।
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेषु वर्तन्त इति धारयन् ॥

Speaking, letting go, grasping, opening and closing the eyes, holding that the senses move among the sense-objects.
