'Joy' emanates only from those actions which bear fruits instantly. 'Act' today and
'result' tomorrow, such karmas can only impart pains and pleasures.

Quotations
Action
Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
-Thomas Jefferson "Thomas Jefferson"
The effects of all our actions are experienced instantaneously in the form of the
state of mind they elicit... Those who are laying the web of religions in the name
of doctrine of Karma are simply being deceitful.
-Deep Trivedi
Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.
-James Russell Lowell "James Russell Lowell"
Not knowing the consequence of good and evil karmas, he is afflicted and hurt. Nevertheless, he, due to his egotism, piles up more karmas and undergoes births and deaths again and again.

The act which gives you happiness, which even the mind gets excited to do...
how could it be a 'sin'? After death, anyway you will not be able to do anything.
-Deep Trivedi
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
Concerned alone with the upholding of the world, you should act. Whatever the best man does, others do that also. The world follows the standard he sets for himself.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 3.20-21"
To concentrate on one task at a time irrespective of its nature or kind, is 'Yoga'.
Likewise, focusing on many tasks at a time is 'Kama', no matter how great or
important you may consider them to be.
-Deep Trivedi
