AVOIDING THE USELESS

A wise man always differentiates between a positive response and a negative reaction; between a realistic approach and an emotional approach. He invariably adopts a result-oriented policy. Jumping into things without assessing the result is a habit that only fools can afford, for fools rush in where angels fear to tread. A wise man cannot afford this kind of involvement. ‘Useless’ means ‘without any result’ and whatever has no result is pointless and liable to be thrown into the litterbin. Even animals follow a result-oriented path. How much more so must human beings then be conscious of doing result-oriented things? If an honest person indulges in useless activities, his conscience will go against him. Before facing others, he has to face up to his own conscience and there are very few who can do that. Conscience, working as an internal check, is a moral keeper for every person. Conscience never fails and if you pay heed to it, you will save yourself from going astray. Follow your conscience and you will surely develop into a divine personality. o Law of Nature No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunnelled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, and disciplined. There is but one law of nature, which applies to both animate and inanimate objects. It is that there is a price to be paid for every end in life; without paying that price, nothing can be achieved.
