In some sense I would agree.

I think mostly that people who go around thinking they are enlightened...aren't. You have to do rather than think.

I am more convinced by Sri Aurobindo: one of the preconditions for reaching the real enlightenment is to stop thinking and go beyond the reason. there one can get the enlightenment.

True, but that's also doing rather than thinking.

if so, then this 'doing' is a very inner soul activity.

I think it is. There is nothing passive about this passage.
