The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
Contemplation is an alternative consciousness that refuses to identify with or feed what are only passing shows. It is the absolute opposite of addiction, consumerism or any egoic consciousness.
Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live.
The mind has exactly the same power as the hands; not merely to grasp the world, but to change it.
The world is not comprehensible, but it is embraceable: through the embracing of one of its beings.
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
Extend a hand whether or not you know it shall be grasped.
The contemplative life is often miserable. One must act more, think less, and not watch oneself live.
You can't control the world, but when you control your thoughts, you bring order.
The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.
