Commentary – Every action elicits reaction. There are many types of actions which we undertake during our course of life. They are grouped as under -
Unavoidable Action – This covers base of Maslow’s
Hierarchy Pyramid starting with basic needs of physiological nature like food, water,
sleep and safety needs like safety and security.
Desireful Action – These actions are performed
in order to gain something. These are middle part of Maslow’s pyramid covering
psychological needs of belongingness like relationships, relations and esteem
needs like name, fame.
Desireless Action – At the crest of pyramid are
the actions performed after self-actualization. These desireless actions are carried
out for the good of the maximum.
Every cause has an effect. Every action leads to a reaction. Even if action is by self, its reactions may come from inside (body and mind) and from outside (by others). The reactions or effects gives us peace, joy or sorrow. Unavoidable actions result in effects of joy or pain. Desireful actions give happy moments on suitable outcomes and unhappy moments on adverse outcome. Even though there is an effect or reaction after a desireless action, the performer is insulated from any kind of suffering.
