Answers
“You cannot cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.”
This is a philosophical and life related quote by the great Indian poet, writer and philanthropist Rabindranath Tagore.
In easy words, if someone plans to cross a sea just by standing and staring at the waves, he will never be able to do so because there is no performance acted necessarily. It only satisfies the aesthetic mind for enjoyments of the view. One needs to build a boat and cross the vast in reality, not in thoughts.
The writer expresses his deeper thoughts how dreams unlock our visionary ability and having a vision channels the energy into us to perform deeds in the systematic way to achieve goals. Having everything imagined is very great indeed but the action is an utmost duty to oneself.
In Karma Yoga, the Geeta expresses the importance of action over no action performed. Actions give motion to human lives as well as it makes a balance in the society or it creates a chain through which our mindset tends to infinity.
