Be Inspired - Action
There was a guru in a village. He had some disciples who would stay with him always. One day they were going near a river. A group of young men who possessed good knowledge came near guru and said, “We have good knowledge about various things. Knowledge is the most powerful thing on earth. With knowledge you can achieve anything”.
Hearing their speech, the guru didn’t say anything, but just smiled and took a stone and threw into the river. Now the guru asked the young men, “Can you bring back the stone by using your knowledge alone?”
One of the young men said, “No it is possible only if we jump into the river and take the stone”. Then the guru replied, “You can’t do anything by gaining knowledge alone. But you need to take action for things to happen. Knowledge is useful only if we apply through action”
Gaining knowledge is good. But only when it combines with action, it produces the desired results.
