...futile attempt at justifying a waste of time and inefficiency in
action.

The way you lose attachment to the fruit of action is through
contacting the transcendent on a daily basis and contrasting that
experience with activity.

Your Purusha's friend take on "stop start change" is as legitimate
as saying that MMY is testing people's intelligence by having them
do stupid things until they realize that they are stupid and will
stop doing them and refuse to do them anymore and that they should
stop following gurus because that's not the path of TM.



--------Actually, the way to lose attachment to the fruit of action is to understand beyond all doubt that there is no fruit to action because the field of activity is so vastly interdependent that nobody can control variables to the degree to acheive the fruit, and because even if one does acheive the fruit it cannot be savoured as intended. So therefore one simply makes the decision once and for all not to be attached.
 
Furthermore, if one goes further and marries the idea of devotion or service then one constantly gives the fruit to others, and so no fruit is ever actually had. In fact, it makes the best sense, whether one is a basically good and giving person, or whether one is a bad and selfish person to be generous because you will get more back from sharing then if you hold onto everything. This very tenet is the reason that the path is for everyone, and everyone, regardless of nature can benefit from generosity.
