Should we pursue the Doing philosophy in case of matters regarding Salvation and just follow the Being philosophy in case of ordinary material matters of the World, probably all are going to die in the end. So Salvation is the Only thing that you should try to pursue with a Go, and Get It, attitude. What's your thoughts regarding this?

probably being and having seems similar
Philosophies of Doing and Being
i think probably ther r two ways to play our roles in this world. One, the Male philosophy of existence and two, the female philosophy of existence. These philosophies need not be confined respectively to male and female only as the names indicate. According to the situations provided both these philosophies are practiced by both male and female irrespective of the gender.
The Doing philosophy is all about fixing the aim and then go….get it, whatever happens in between. The Being philosophy is bit reactive. See the circumstances and environment and adjust accordingly to be able to face it, to survive for the time being. One is result orientation and the other is path orientation.

Follow God. He does without doing. He is being, the difference between what is coming into being, and what IS. A man in contemplation of God should act, do what is right and be good, but always sacrificing his rewards to his Lord, in this way a man can act freely, and become free of his actions, he is understands that God is the actor, not him, even though he is acting, it is through the power of God that he is able to act, so all his actions are freed of the chain of fate and he acts freely within God's closely watched realm.

Being , doing & having .....
People just try it the other way, and therefore the struggle !
In order to have, we do, and for doing it, we try to be (good, honest, hardworking, knowledgeable etc..)
The Being works for both, the material and 'salvation' matters too !

You can lay in bed all day and that is "being". You may as well be in a coma.
Or you can get out and interact with other humans, and you touch their lives. That is "doing".
It doesn't have to have anything to do with god.
