THOUGHT AND ACTION

What is this life? A battle or a vision, a trial or a tale, a tempest or mid summer night’s dream. Perhaps it is the both. It is the union of the two that the perfection of life consists.

Thought and action are in fact the two sides of a coin. One completes the other and is completed by the other. Thought without action is like an abortion, action without thought is “an arrow shot in dark”. One makes the promise, the other gives it performance.

Thought is a prelude to action. We think and we act, we brood and we build. Thinking, in order to be inspiring, and elevating should be set within the limits of reasons and self discipline. Excessive and way ward thinking does not strengthen but weakens our will.

It is true that thoughts govern our character, give food to our inner life and make us happy, healthy and hopeful, but we should not indulge in them to the extent of becoming passive, idle or listless. We have to conquer the “self “ and the whole world around. For a man of action there is much to do in the world.
