[subhāṣita/apophthegm] Consideration shall always be first in the check-list!

[Vyom A. Shah]

अविमृश्य कृतं कार्यं पश्चात्तापाय जायते।

न पतत्यापदाम्भोधौ विमृश्य कार्यकारकः॥

[अविमृश्य। कृतम्। कार्यम्। पश्चात्-तापाय। जायते।

न। पतति। आपदा-ऽम्भोधौ। विमृश्य कार्यकारकः॥]

{avimṛśya kṛtaṃ kāryaṃ paścāttāpāya jāyate.

na patatyāpadāmbhodhau vimṛśya kāryakārakaḥ..}

An act performed without proper consideration leads towards repentance but when a person performs action with proper consideration, he doesn't fall into the ocean of calamities.
