Think, Reflect and Act - 1
Every individual is conscious about the world within and without the attempts, to the extent of his understanding of the two i.e. Purusha (Self) and Prakriti (Nature), to harmonize them. Tension grips every thinking active individual who is positively contributing his every best in the social system around. Every such individual on several occasions is gripped by tensions which are maximum that he can bear. He often comes across situations when he has to decide a definite course of action and then his entire experience, development and existence seems to be at stake on his one decision, to act or to refrain from acting.
When after doing his best the nature places him in a fact situation, whereby he raises up his hands and exclaims "Oh! God! Tell me what is there in this life for me." It is during these periods in life that he has a choice to put his foot forward more firmly then he ever did and thereby marches ahead in time and act, relying on the dictates of his Self alone or retraces his foot and disappears into oblivion.
The nature of tensions and circumstances will be different and personal, for each individual at every step, at every moment but the fundamentals remain the same. The purpose of this book is to equip you well for that situation, when you are your own guide, when you alone are ready and prepared to bear the fruits of your actions but know not about the nature of fruits and such actions have far reaching family, social and even national and international consequences, which follow. Think tanks and advisers also have their limitations. Whether you are a/an,
- artist waiting for a breakthrough,
- bureaucrat taking a sensitive decision,
- doctor prescribing a medicine or doing a surgery,
- judge delivering a judgment,
- emotionally disturbed because of husband/wife, family or friends.
- person going to be married,
- person facing child birth, a dreadful disease or death,
- politician going for elections or locked in power struggle,
- professional beginning or going ahead with his profession,
- soldier in war,
- student taking an exam,
You will find your answer within and make yourself a better equipped individual, harmonizing with nature.
