Thoughts are thoughts ( unmanifest ), and actions are the manifested form of thoughts.
We see a difference between the two.
But Spirituality does not.
According to spirituality, even if you only think, it means the action is done.
In manifest form or unmanifest form, for spirituality, both are actions and actions of any kind that take you away from the shunya state.
That’s why one must be thoughtless to settle in a shunya state.
Why do we see a difference between thoughts and actions?
Because we think we are the body (inside the body, and outside the body).
And with this belief, we get away with millions of thoughts ( internally ) as long as we don’t bring them out, in the form of actions ( visible to the world ).
This thought /speech ( action ) disintegration leads to uncontrollable mind, tremendous guilt, and several mental disorders.
Only the purity of the soul has the power to bring thought/speech integration and harmony in your life.
