Wise words. Both HPB's and Louis Farrakhan's. 

There is action in inaction and inaction in action

Nos,

I don't know who said that, but here are some relevant passages 
from HPB's Key to Theosophy which may be worth pondering.

...Peter
=============
"We describe Karma as that Law of re-adjustment which ever 
tends to restore disturbed equilibrium in the physical, and 
broken harmony in the moral world. We say that Karma does not 
act in this or that particular way always; but that it always 
does act so as to restore Harmony and preserve the balance of 
equilibrium, in virtue of which the Universe exists."

============
"THEOSOPHIST. We call them Karmic laws; but you will not 
understand the full meaning of the term unless you study 
Occultism. . . . . in true philosophy every physical action 
has its moral and everlasting effect. Hurt a man by doing him 
bodily harm; you may think that his pain and suffering cannot 
spread by any means to his neighbors, least of all to men of 
other nations. We affirm that it will, in good time. Therefore, 
we say, that unless every man is brought to understand and 
accept as an axiomatic truth that by wronging one man we wrong 
not only ourselves but the whole of humanity in the long run, 
no brotherly feelings such as preached by all the great 
Reformers, pre-eminently by Buddha and Jesus, are possible on 
earth." ===========
