Actions and Results
can denitely hope for better results, but despite doing our best, the result is often, not what we expect.
Why does man act? Man wants certain results. He wants to earn money or achieve name and fame. He may want to marry a woman he loves. There is a motivation that causes man to act, but can man actually achieve the result that he wants? He can be in control of his actions, he can create a burning desire and be passionate using every possible strategy but still, he cannot guarantee the result he desires. Does man’s desire control the result? While desire is needed for man to act, desire doesn’t control the result.
Man is caught in a vicious cycle. He desires something and the desire motivates him to act. He does his best and improves all the three factors to achieve the desired result. Sometimes, he does achieve it. He is happy and excited but he doesn’t stop. He goes on to full his next wish. Does man always achieve what he desires? Probably not! When he does not achieve the end result, he feels dejected, disappointed and becomes miserable.
Man does not realize that in pursuit of a specic result, he becomes a prisoner of his own desire, which ultimately leads to suffering. He could be happy without craving for that result. But this cycle ultimately makes man miserable.
