An intention which does not result in determination, in an ardent effort to bring about the intended result, cannot do so. To have a clear intention means to have realised clearly what one desires and the direction one wants to follow. Intention clearly realised means attaining the appropriate state of mind and, then, seeking out the means out to achieve the purpose envisaged.
Intention is the spring of all actions.
Everything related to man himself and the world in general, in its inception or continuance, depends on some intention. Without intention, it is impossible to bring something into being and ensure its continuance. Everything first comes into the mind as an idea, and then one goes on to make plans for it. The idea may, later, become a reality as a result of resolve and perseverance. Without the initial idea, clarified as an intention, even to initiate a project will be difficult, probably futile.
