Action we do based on our choices decides the result

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.

@Ria the best example I will give anyone from my life is helping my friends with their queries even the day before the exam. Even at night as and when they called.
My mom, my relatives used to fight with me for this habit. That I am leaving my studies and helping around. My marks will be less. They used to tell why they call you last minute. Don't they know you also have to study. It is really a difficult thing to take a choice. When someone calls you, you also have your revision to do, you also have exams, you also have to score high in this competitive world.
Yes on practical purpose I can refuse to help, or give a quick reply so that they understand I am not interested in helping them.
But then is it right. There were cases where just because I could spend some time with my friend on certain important part of the syllabus day before the exam she scrapped through it. I got less mark on my favourite subject, but could I have taken hit on my conscience if she failed when I had the power to ensure she doesn't have a back paper.
And I never had a backpaper even when I thought I might get one. I scrapped through it. My 5th sem lab, I still call it a miracle. I don't know how I managed it. It was the messiest question I had got. Me and my friend lost our lab record that too signed ones. I got it back miraculously, she didn't get and had to write everything.
My hall ticket I misplaced in the exam hall due to a really bad exam and had almost decided that Principal office I will have to stand and fill forms for approvals to write remaining exams. Was sure both my parents will not spare me for being reckless. The girl sitting next to me who was in another sem took it and gave it someone belonging to my batch. That girl gave it to my friend and I got my hall ticket back.
There are many many such instances in my life which people call miracles
Question is can you connect such things in your life. Can you understand when you rise above moral conflicts, nature will be there for you when you need it the most. If you can, you will understand the operator.

I understood that doing good for others helps us in some way or the other.. but the operator part I'm not getting. And ha pls explain how do u differentiate between prakriti and sanskriti on a day to day basis in our life. When we take ur story.. when people call u last minute with doubts and u clear.. u r following the prakriti law of giving help. While had u refused saying ur busy would be sanskriti law of thinking of one's own before the other. Am I getting it?

Yes, if I refuse I am following me principle, selfish. But when you decide to help when your result come you should not sit and regret if I had not helped I might have more marks. When I sit to help I know that my marks might take a hit, accept it and then give help.When you use the freewill that is the key thing. Be prepared for less than expected desirable outcome also.
Question should always be what I will get regret, getting less marks or seeing my friend fail or do miserably when I could have helped. When I choose it is always the latter. I can take personal hit, but as much as possible if any of my near and dear ones ask help cant deny it.
One more point to be noted is that, I don't blindly go, sit and do things when I have priorities. I left my studies , came to you, helped you. No that doesn't happen. I give only when requested. I don't sacrifice my things when people are managing their things. I don't meddle into it in the name of sacrifice.
That's why sometimes my mom calls me detached. You don't understand and do what is needed.

Pls explain the detached part.. Bcoz ur helping on request where's detachment here ? And also pls explain sacrifice part.. Bcoz had u noticed earlier that they are having issues and had gone ahead and helped u might have had more time for ur revision na as they wouldn't be needing last minute help. Assuming that you know they have issue and are trying to manage themselves..

@ria you need to allow people manage things. If u go and ask u have problem and if u think world needs u to move on u will never enjoy life. We are all dispensable.accept it.what makes us indispensable. Our thoughts that is carried forward. So if they need help they will ask without ego.if I expect every other person to understand u without u telling anything that is ur ego.if I need help I ask.I don't expect other to understand my need of help.I do everything for anyone to prove something and then regret people not acknowledge u after u sacrificed u will burn out. People acknowledge help only when it is requested. As a human u need acknowledgement. If u accept ego if u accept it selfishness if u accept ur need for acknowledgement u will learn to use freewill

Interesting discussion Shruthi ...one sentence struck me
when you rise above moral conflicts, nature will be there for you when you need it the most. If you can, you will understand the operator.

The operator in the helping friend on the eve of exam is you. It was your choice the inherent goodness that was considering the need of the other. Had you chosen to follow the dictates of socialization and focused on your self, you would have fallen in your own eyes.
You were a god send to others, life reciprocated and sent you such angels for the moment.

Do good or what you think is right without expecting anything in return. Life pays you back manifold.

@vidya you summed up in one sentence. if you don't do certain actions doesn't matter what society thinks about you, but you will fall in your own eyes. And definitely I don't want anything of that sort.
