ACTION

Paatthippadutthal is an agricultural operation-to make ridges and prepare the field for cultivation.

But it should be remembered that a merely passive attitude is ruinous if the occasion calls for action.

Plan fully before launching out on action. To think of devising- ways and means in the course of the action is fatal.

Think well before resolving on action. Hesitation after the decision is once taken is bad. These two are complementary principles of action.

The energy that is spent on action without being first adequately spent on planning it out, will be empty of results, whatever may be the manpower placed on the field.

The means adopted should be such as would not be condemned by the enlightened world, which never approves of unworthy means.
