With Logic into the Now

It goes along with me already fifty years. Twenty-five years I have been trying surpassing this logic. Even now I do not succeed.
A little example: Many traditions, many masters, teachers say with the pretty word: get something accomplished, do something, make an effort, do Vipassana, do this, do that. In Advaita I hear: there is nothing to do. Be still, be love, be here. To me both seem to be concepts. I tested both possibilities. And now? How does this contradiction get solved: do something and there is nothing to do?
Madhukar: Look at the result of your fifty years logics by yourself. Please tell me.
V: It helped me very well, I became clever, curious, seeking, earn my money, my life. But I am still here and ask: and now?
I do not imagine that I have found something thru this, except that I live my life.
M: Is this Now not the most wonderful there is? So full and yet so empty?
V: Yes, both.
M: Exactly. There is nothing else!
V: (laughs loudly) Thank you!
M: Welcome!
