Hurry To Do Mitzvot

Ben Azzai said:

Hurry to do even a small deed and flee from illusion;

for action generates more action,

while wishing generates only frustration.

We are here to act.

We are life's way of getting things done.

What is the reward for action?

The opportunity to do more.

What is the payment for illusion?

Despair
