Just as the disciple's feet were cleansed, perfecting them in a way, and washing away the minutia of earth, so too do we learn or become aware by putting our mind to the thing's of heaven: the more we become aware of God, and His plan, it is just like already knowing the plan, and taking peace in it.
In that same way, as in Eastern thought, as we become aware of things by admitting our ignorance, so too can we sometimes be saved by NOT doing, perhaps in prayer, but no earthly man-activity, relying on no methods of earth, but simply by waiting on God.
Getting saved by doing nothing; being righteousness, by doing nothing. Especially if the alternative, if doing is to be in error or to commit sin; we had certainly better stop and do nothing.
Jesus insulated and blessed his disciples at their feet.
Be insulated, be blessed, and let righteousness be bestowed on you, as some say using the verb "to claim", claim your salvation by doing nothing: that is the rest of God, God's own rest and mental security, being neither anxious or angry with none in the world, but just being in rest.
