Right Action

Right Action follows the Right Being
The Right being follows the laws because the Right being can see the laws and can therefore conform to it.
Since it is following the laws there is absence of personal motive - of fear or of self importance.
There is  therefore no violation and therefore it is non violent.

What is my sadhana here?
I feel it is to increasingly understand and 'see' the laws operate, unfold, move into motion. The demand therefore on me is to 'see' the laws operate. What does that mean? To begin with, I need to allow the law to operate, put my self voluntarily under it, despite the compulsions of my mechanical impulses. That therefore is a call for a sacrifice and a call for prayer for support because my fears and instinct of self preservation of the status quo are very large forces.

One of the experiments in this direction for me is what I call the law of waiting. Waiting before a response. It appears that waiting has a great possibility. I can see the churning in me, urging me to respond based on past habits and memories. Sometimes I wait but then the fears rise again and push me towards action.

Now how do i know how much to wait ? I sometimes look for signs from the universe around me. Its a language whose symbolic language I build step by step, alphabet by alphabet. I take the action. Sometimes based on the consequences of the action(on me)  I get a  sense if that action was lawful or not. Then I start again.
