Justification of Dreams?

Dreaming is easy. Everyone can dream. Desire is easy. Everyone desires.

But to make even the least possible effort, even if a miniscule, towards the practical realisation of the dream, is what will make all the difference.

Thoughts like whether or not traversing the whole path will really be feasible, about all things which 'might' occur to obstruct you, etc - and all such defensive thoughts - will only pull one down, without ever giving any proper solution.

There is only two vital questions to ask oneself - do I really want this, do I truly desire this? Is there anything I can do right now, which would not render me in some irrecoverable position, and which would take me, even if by a miniscule fraction, towards the realisation of this dream?

If the answers to both of these are 'yes', what more is really there to wait for?

Often, we try to justify to others our actions towards the object of our desire, in a perspective in which the other person might understand it - might see it as proper, right or natural from his perspective. And in trying to do so, we get lost in a maze of words and thoughts. Of course, how could it be otherwise? Because, in our hearts, the truest justification of our pursual of that object is our own pure desire of that object, not its being 'proper' or 'right' or 'natural' in the eyes of others. (Now, our desire might have stemmed from such altrustic reasons - that depends upon the psyche - but the bottomline is that we do desire it.) And it needs no other, and would find no other, more proper justification for our pursual of it than our own pure wish and desire of it. Hence it follows that we would never be able to properly put it in same justification and light in which it would have been placed had it been explained away with its true justification - and it is only this justification which actually renders it, through a power of truth and simplicity, in more glory and magnanimousity than ever possible through any other justification.
