3 C.19 Thought, Speech and Action

Easy it is to be thinking,
Difficult it is to be acting,
Thought to action striving,
Be most difficult achieving. [1]

What people say conveniently,
What they do categorically,
Be but different so profoundly,
From what they say or do truly. [2]

Midway between thought and action be,
Speech - located but so conveniently,
Complementing for both ever rationally,
But never substituting them completely. [3]

Thought - the blossom does be,
Language - the bud clearly,
Action - the fruit certainly,
So ever ACT with all clarity. [4]

Ever try to do good,
By all means you should,
In all ways you could,
All times, places and mood. [5]

Our true wealth not just good,
Thoughts or the dreams good,
Their execution must be good,
This, time tested it has stood. [6]
