The Talmud examines if a locked chest is considered a utensil or a structure, and notes that if a zav (a man who had an abnormal emission) moved such an item directly, it becomes ritually contaminated. If the zav jumped causing this item to move indirectly then our sages argue over if it was contaminated, since it was not a direct application of his force.
The concept here is that when you put your effort into your mission be purposeful and direct. Sure, you may be able to get things done passively or indirectly, but this is not the same level as a direct application of your personal force on the task. It doesn’t give the same sense of accomplishment. Be aware of what you need to do and how to go about it.
