Some act till they meet obstacles,

others act in spite of obstacles,

and conqauer them;

but some act not,

fearing the possibility

of some obstacles,

that might arise enroute.

 

Every action motivated

by egocentric dedsires

thickens the veil of ignorance,

and permits not even

a single ray of the

essential Divinity to peep through it

to illumine the Life in us.

 

By merely running away from action,

no one attains perfection.

Renunciation of life,

is not the way to reach

the highest goal of evolution.

 

Just as the beauty of a fruit is not

the last word of its edibility,

a beautiful action can be

a poisoned act of cruelty,

if the motive behind is

low and vicious.

 

Action and reaction

are equal and opposite.
