The great Acharyas have said that having discovered a great
goal, surrender yourself to that goal and
act towards it, drawing your inspiration from that goal whereby you
will get a new column of energy. Do not allow this energy to be dissipated in
the futile memories of the past regrets or failures, nor in
the imagined sorrow of the future, nor in the excitement of the present.
And thus bring that entire energy focussed into activity. That is the
highest creative action in the world outside. Thereby the individual who
is till now considered most inefficient finds his way to the highest
achievement and success.
|
This is said easily in a second. But in order to train our mind to
this attitude it needs considerable training
because we have already trained the mind wrongly to such an
extent that we have become perfect in imperfections. Not
knowing the art of action, we have been master artists in doing
the wrong thing. The totality of activity will bring the country
to a wrong end indeed.

If each one is given a car to achieve an ideal socialistic pattern
and nobody knows driving but everybody starts driving, what would be the
condition on the road? Everybody has equal right on the public road. Then each car must necessarily dash
against the other, and there is bound to be a jumble. This
seems to be the very apt pattern of life that we are heading to.
Everyone of us is a vehicle. We know how to go forward. The point is,
intellect is very powerful and everyone is driving but nobody seems to
know how to control the mental energy and direct it properly or guide it
to the proper destination.
