A rushed decision might not align with our career goals. Likewise, a rush approach to a task might not get us a desired result. During our examination days, we answer after understanding the demand of the question. Whatever is asked, we write accordingly, we never write anything that do not pertains to the question. In the same way, we should analyse the outcome before undertaking any tasks. In this respect, Sanskrit says;
अविज्ञाय फलं यो हि कर्मत्वेवानुधावती|
स शोचेत्फलवेलायां यथा किंशुकसेवकः||
Avigyaaya phalam yo hi karmatvevaanudhaavatee.
Sa shochetphalavelaayaam yathaa kimshukasevakah.
Avigyaaya = due to ignorance.
Phalam = fruits (end result of any action or deed )
Yo = whosoever.
Hi = surely.
Karmatvevaanudhaavati = karma + tu + iva + anudhavati.
Karma = deed, action.
Tu = but, and.
Iva = like.
Anudhaavati = runs after, pursues.
Sa = he.
Shochetphalavelaayaam = shoched + phala + velaayaam.
Shoiched = causing to grieve.
Phala = result, fruit.
Velaayaan = at the time of.
Yatha = for instance, just like a.
Kimshuka = name of a tree which produces bright red flowers and when it flowers the entire forest appears to be a flame. That is why it is also called 'flame of the forest'. This tree does not produce any fruits etc. useful to people.
Sevakah = a person who has nurtured the Kimshuka tree in the hope of getting a harvest of fruits.
i.e. If a person hurries to do something without knowing the consequences of his actions, he will certainly have to suffer the same consequences, Just like as a person who nurtures and grows a Kinshuka tree ultimately gets disappointed (because the tree does not bear fruits).
By understanding the desired end result, we can ensure that our planned task or action directly supports our main objectives. This prevents engaging in activities that, despite seeming productive, do not contribute to the final goal.
