Krishnamurti of the day - Do Ideas Limit Action?
Can ideas ever produce action, or do ideas merely mold thought and therefore limit action? When action is compelled by an idea, action can never liberate man. It is extraordinarily important for us to understand this point. If an idea shapes action, then action can never bring about the solution to our miseries because, before it can be put into action, we have first to discover how the idea comes into being.

A very inspired question @samstonehill!
@winne the pooh I mean @ebryans me, too ..
hahah
@samstonehill hmm.. an idea remains a thought without action .. an action without a well defined idea and planning would probably result to disaster or chaos ..
Ah, just spotted your pooh mention :) I posted another pooh pic for @ebryans a moment ago. Love pooh!
Yes, it's a tricky one to get my head around, but I think what he means is that when we understand ourselves better, our actions become more instinctive and in harmony with this planet.
Thanks. Your picture made me think of another lovely Pooh pic :)

Our actions are limited by our ideas, as we are unaware of the true potential of the Universe. I do feel that action inspired by passion and clarity can be of value -- as an artist knows -- inspiration doesn't always come from us, but is expressed through us.
Thanks for the thought-provoking post, @samstonehill.
Thank you for your beautiful words. Yes, there is a special and most un-planned clarity achieved through a 100% connection with our moment. An experience that comes more naturally to artists, generally speaking ;)
Staying in touch with creation is of great value on infinite levels.
Love that. Thanks for the comment :)
I had to read it twice to get the point! Thanks @samstonehill!
Me too :) Sometimes I even have to read his words three times to fully comprehend them.
It's amazing picture!!

I noticed that we are very often side by side in the steemwhales rep ranking, both of us currently hovering at 68.7
...and I enjoy knowing that we are rising side by side!
All the best to you :)
Ah, a saying of many meanings... similarly, are actions that are not informed by ideas meaningful... or just random chaos?
Love Krishamurti... riddles within riddles...
Love him too :) One of my older sisters was able to attend his talks in her youth. Wouldn't that have been fun :)
