"Mota ! Why is there a difference in thoughts and behavior? Many times the thoughts are very good but it cannot be put in practice that easily."
Pujya Shree Mota: Great souls behave first and think later; while we have it exactly opposite. Why can't we act even one Rupee's (currency of India) worth when we have thoughts worth one thousand Rupees? There is a need for inner inspirational strength to put a good thought in practice. We have not received such strength yet. This inner inspirational strength cannot be achieved without hard sadhana or sprouting of Love-Bhakti in the heart or without burning aspiration to achieve the goal; or if we have the lively, creative Bhavna in the mind, and rock solid intimacy (that we can keep in our mind all the time) with the Atma from whom we want to receive knowledge. Then only, we have good thoughts to achieve the goal and it can be put in practice.
