Such a great point and one I had when I started seriously meditating a couple of years ago. It's only now really that I'm starting to be able to just sit, without a goal, without some sense of "am I enlightened yet" as a thought somewhere at the end of the tunnel. Of course, in sitting I am (as per above) optimising - optimising stillness and inaction but yes, optimising. But then as per reply below, the piece was specifically about wealth and working time which is a different beast. Man, interesting stuff :-)
