You may never know what results come of your actions




The awakened sages call a person wise when all his undertakings are free from anxiety about results; all his selfish desires have been consumed in the fire of knowledge. The wise, ever satisfied, have abandoned all external supports. Their security is unaffected by the results of their action; even while acting, they really do nothing at all. Stay free from expectations and from all sense of possession, with mind and body firmly controlled by the Self.

Bhagavad Gita 4.19-21

*

When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognise and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.

The XIV Dalai Lama

You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.

M K Gandhi

What do you want to achieve or avoid? The answers to this question are objectives. How will you go about achieving your desired results? The answer to this you can call strategy.

William Rothschild
