Deeds vs Intentions with Murali Venkatrao
Indeed, there is much truth to this: it is not ...enough to merely mean well. Action is essential. But when we do good works, but for the wrong reason – say for recognition; or to appear nice, etc. – we merely work intellectually, without the heart’s involvement. Such actions are not very effective. More importantly, we get stuck in the thought that “I am doing it”, and our ego becomes sharper.
But when our intentions are pure, what we do becomes an expression of our heart, infused with sincerity and love. We go beyond the thought of “I am doing it”, and allow our higher Self to act through us. This is why acting with kindness and for the highest good of others diminishes the ego, and brings about inner transformation.
Our good actions alone may or may not bring about positive change. But our intentions, when purified, can change us; and that changes the world around us. This is why Yogananda said, Change yourself, and you’ve done your part in changing the world.
