Q1 of 28 Page 56

Answer the following questions briefly:

Explain Romain Rolland's view on 'thought' and 'action'.

According to Romain Rolland, “Action is the end of thought.” He says that a thought which cannot be followed up into action is quite useless, and not productive in any way. “All thought which does not look towards action is a treachery. If then we are the servants of thought, we must be the servants of action.” Rolland tries to convey here that running away from action after pondering over courageous noble thoughts is only an act of treason and nothing else. One who subjects himself to deep thought must also engage himself in righteous action in order to give a complete dimension to his thoughts.
