Act! That is enough!

Had a conversation with a cousin who is also a good friend of mine regarding 'action' and hence this post.
We all perform some action or the other every moment. Some say desires drive action. Again, not that non-desire leads to inaction. Yet again, the inaction due to maturity is different from inaction due to hesitation. Whether it is action or inaction, let it be pure. Let the action be performed for the sake of action alone. That maintains the purity in it. Let the music be played and the rythm be followed for the sake of rythm alone. That maintains the purity in the rythm. As long as the action has other motives such as recogonition, praise and other aspects which supports one's ego, the action loses its charm. Let the action be loved and performed every moment, for it deserves such a love. The moment this is realized, the truth begins to look comprehendable. It gives endless joy. Let us 'act' and remain calm. If any more importance is given to such an action, the unnecessary by-product called 'suffering' follows. It prevents further truthful and pure action. Hence let us act 'truly' every moment and let us begin experiencing the 'truth' every moment.
