Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.

'Joy' emanates only from those actions which bear fruits instantly. 'Act' today and
'result' tomorrow, such karmas can only impart pains and pleasures.
-Deep Trivedi
It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit.
-Mahatma Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi"
If you can accomplish any great task being absorbed in it and that too without
any expectations, believe me, that one act of yours will make you a "historical
person".
-Deep Trivedi
The effects of all our actions are experienced instantaneously in the form of the
state of mind they elicit... Those who are laying the web of religions in the name
of doctrine of Karma are simply being deceitful.
-Deep Trivedi
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
-Deep Trivedi
Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.
-James Russell Lowell "James Russell Lowell"
A leader is someone who compels others to positive action by the power of their own positive action.
-Anonymous "Rotary Youth Leadership Awards"
To concentrate on one task at a time irrespective of its nature or kind, is 'Yoga'.
Likewise, focusing on many tasks at a time is 'Kama', no matter how great or
important you may consider them to be.
-Deep Trivedi
