It was a beautiful sentence by Ram. Many people do make choices and do action without realizing what they are going to get. One thing we need to know is that to do nothing is also a choice and it has its own consequences.
How do you understand what should be your action. We need to know action and direction are important. Only then the action is completed.
Action is one, direction is also 1. If you see 1 and 1 are connected using 4 operators +,-,* and / giving 3 outcomes 2,0,1. People always see 1 and 1 but they never see the operator , they never understand the operator. They expect 2. But when they get 0 they don't know what is the issue. Reason is when they did action they assumed it is 1+1, have no clue how it became 1-1. Understanding the operator is the key in doing the action in the correct direction. How do you understand operator.
If you act in the direction of dharma it becomes 1+1 =2. How do you decide dharma. At any point between sanskriti and prakriti moral conflict choose Prakriti. If you do this 2 will happen.
If you act in the direction of adharma 1-1=0 happens. If you choose sanskriti over prakriti in moral conflicts you can expect this results.
If you react to postitivty it multiplies that is more positivity
If you react to negativity it brings more negativity 1/1=1 ie negativity doesn't change.
Learn to react to positive news. Learn to act on negative news.
Though the equation looks simple , in reality it is complex as each action creates multiple reactions and we are responsible for all of it. So whenever in doubt ask guidance before you take action, so that along with direction it is always 1+1. Don't react everytime in rage.
