Is rest something you have to earn? Aristotle, the Gita and the Sabbath give three answers

I've had some months away from work, and the strangest part is not the free time. It's the feeling that I owe someone an explanation for it. Rest feels like a loan.

Three texts I keep carrying around, which seem to disagree:

• Aristotle, near the end of the Nicomachean Ethics, says we are busy in order to have leisure, as we make war in order to have peace. Leisure (scholē) is the point, and work is for its sake. But his leisure is not lying on a sofa. It is the activity of contemplation, and he did not expect most working people to get much of it.
• The Gita tells Arjuna that action is better than inaction, and that his concern is with the work and never with its fruits. On that reading rest is not a reward at all. You never earn anything; you simply act well.
• The Sabbath, as Deuteronomy gives the commandment, is grounded in memory: remember that you were a slave in Egypt. The rest there is not earned. It is commanded, and for the servant, the stranger and the ox as well as for the master.

So: earned, beside the point, or owed? I lean towards the third, and I'm suspicious of that, because it's the one that lets me off the hook.
