Truth in action is Righteous
Conduct. The action takes place on the physical domain and behind each
action there is thought. If this thought derives its sustenace from
the human will, as opposed to human desire, the resultant action will
be righteous.
What is of significance here is
to understand the distinction between will and desire. Will is the
colourless component of human resolve which motivates and inspires him
to act in accordance with the truth. Different from this is the desire
that prompts action. More often than not, this desire springs out from
some myopic assumption or misbelief. The child has to be encouraged
and trained to ignore impulses like this. In fact, it is the will to
succeed which precedes everything else.
To ensure that Righteous Conduct
becomes a way of life for a person, the education and training has to
start in the childhood itself. This capability is developed in a child
by some basic training in some important skills. |
