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
Quotations
Action
The act which gives you happiness, which even the mind gets excited to do...
how could it be a 'sin'? After death, anyway you will not be able to do anything.
-Deep Trivedi
Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
-Edwin Hubbell Chapin "Edwin. H. Chapin"
Not knowing the consequence of good and evil karmas, he is afflicted and hurt. Nevertheless, he, due to his egotism, piles up more karmas and undergoes births and deaths again and again.
-Scriptures "Acarangasutra 2.55-56"
'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
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"
Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
-Thomas Jefferson "Thomas Jefferson"
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.
-William James "William James"
Concerned alone with the upholding of the world, you should act. Whatever the best man does, others do that also. The world follows the standard he sets for himself.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 3.20-21"
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"
