THE INEVITABILITY OF ACTION

The destiny of a nation belongs to the living generation.Life is the most sacred wealth that we have got.

Life is a common denominator.Life is for the rich,life is for the poor,and life is for the employer and for the employee.Life is for the successful and for the failure.Everyone has got life and has equal share,and this we sacredly guard for ourselves.This is our precious wealth.

But what is life?

Activity is the insignia of life.

Now the question is:since actions are flowing out from every living man until he dies,how can they be organised,altered or disciplined in order that these actions-necessarily and inevitably coming out of him-would bring about happiness all around in the community and a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction to himself in his own bosom?This is what is called the "Art of action".

Action is inevitable,because it is the signature of life.Life expresses itself in action,as death does in inaction.But action may vary-as they do vary-from man to man.

These actions can be categorised in three main categories:

LABOURER: Works for his own pleasure.

WORKER: Working not for mere profit,nor for the wages-what he wants is an idealistic pattern,whch he has in his intellect,which he wants to bring about and work out in society.

MEN OF FULFILMENT:When they worked in the world outside ,did not work for feathering their own home for a more comfortable life;nor did they work in the world outside for bringing heaven upon earth,but they worked among men shoulder to shoulder.they inspired others by their joyous ways of life and thus brought about a new movement of moral upheaval in the country.Thus the marality,the culture and the civilisation of the society always rose up because of the work of this mighty man, in his short span of life.Thus all men of achievement are not mere labourers nor are they workers but they are seekers of fulfilment(Christ,Mahatma Gandhi,Swami Vivekananda etc.,)

It is by individual sacrifices alone that this is possible.Everywhere,in all fields-political,economic and cultural-progress has taken place in the world only because of such sacrifices.

Live like a hermit,work like a horse.

Prosperity,culture and progress are possible not merely because we are physically a human being,but only if we are human in our mind and intellect.

In order to live and to bring out the maximum happiness from ourselves,to work out the best for ourselves,everyone of us must have a goal in life,a mission,an inspiring ideal;looking up to that ideal and hitching our eyes to it, we must work on in the world outside.
