We say, ‘In calmness there should be activity; in activity there should be calmness.’ Actually, they are the same thing; to say ‘calmness’ or to say ‘activity’ is just to express different interpretations of one fact. There is harmony in our activity, and where there is harmony there is calmness.

Harmony
I love how the meditative tradition dissolves either/or thinking!

Thirty or forty years ago I read a book by D. T. Suzuki for a class I was taking called Non-western religons. I remember really enjoying it. I can't find it now, I think I must have lent it to someone. I do hope they enjoyed it.
