Are you a jack in the box, who jumps up to act at the drop of a hat? Compulsive action may not be the virtue it is considered to be.
In spirituality, we have a term, karma, and by extension we have another term – karma bandhana. Mostly, we interpret karma to mean a deed, a deed that is bound to the law of cause and effect. Bandhana means bondage. So karma bandhana implies being bound to the consequences of one’s deeds, negative as well as positive.
However, another meaning of karma is to act. In this context karma bandhana would imply bondage to action.
