The law of action: need of knowledge: action and time         


Author: Akash

All knowledge is relative, and its idea is illustrated by that of a
ceremony lasting twelve days.

There is an impulse to action, and a discussion within us as to its
pros and cons; and when we decide to act in a certain manner, it means
that the balance of judgement is on that side. There is an element of
time in action; and the impulse in connection with certain religious
and virtuous actions is irresistible. While each action has its own
cause and a separate method of performance, a combination of a number
of actions shows how all kinds of actions are mixed together in life.

Today, I, Akash, Vedic proselyte, with arms akimbo, and hands flailing wildly, spliced and splined the air with a white and purple striped four-legged monster before finally settling down with my Vedas and umbrella'd cocktail in my new deckchair.

I don't see how it's possible to flail the hands wildly if one's arms are akimbo. And now that you mention it, I don't see how one could splice and spline the air with any kind of monster while in that position, let alone a white and purple striped fou

I don't see how it's possible to flail the hands wildly if one's arms
are akimbo. And now that you mention it, I don't see how one could
splice and spline the air with any kind of monster while in that
position,
let alone a white and purple striped four legged one.

Is this what they call "poetic license?"

Yeah, though I thought both "splicing" and "splining" the air were both unfortunate in the first place.
