Kural 671<\/p>\n
Deliberation ends when a decision is reached.
\nTo delay that decision’s execution is detrimental.
\nKural 672<\/p>\n
Slumber when sleepy work awaits,
\nbut never rest when actions demand sleepless vigilance.
\nKural 673<\/p>\n
Direct action is good whenever possible,
\nbut when it is not, seek other means of success.
\nKural 674<\/p>\n
Reflect on this: efforts and enemies, if left unfinished,
\ncan both ravage you like an unextinguished fire.
\nKural 675<\/p>\n
Before acting, resolve all doubts by pondering five points:
\ncost, means, time, place and the action itself.
\nKural 676<\/p>\n
Discern the outcome of an enterprise, the obstacles and the
\nopulent earnings that successful effort assures–then act.
\nKural 677<\/p>\n
The way to accomplish any task is to ascertain
\nthe inmost thoughts of an expert in that task.
\nKural 678<\/p>\n
Just as one elephant may be used to tether another,
\nso one task may be the means of accomplishing another.
\nKural 679<\/p>\n
Before bestowing kind favors on friends,
\nhasten to befriend those still estranged.
\nKural 680<\/p>\n
Sensing with trepidation their peoples’ fears, leaders of
\nminor realms bow and accept the terms of mightier rulers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
