Do Ideas Limit Action?

Posted:
Can ideas ever produce action, or do ideas merely mold thought and therefore limit
action? When action is compelled by an idea, action can never liberate man. It is
extraordinarily important for us to understand this point. If an idea shapes
action, then action can never bring about the solution to our miseries because,
before it can be put into action, we have first to discover how the idea comes into
being. - Krishnamurti, J. Krishnamurti, The Book of Life
