There are different people in society who try to impress others by words than deeds. Only giving suggestion has little importance. It is essential to convert the instructions into practice. We may talk of many noble qualities and suggest others to acquire those qualities. It may have less effect or even it may not have. But, if we have those qualities, our advice can be more effective. This proverb is warning to those who talk much but do little.
In our country, there are many people who give long speeches against corruption and misdeeds. For example, let us take example of politicians. They give speech against corruption but they themselves are involved in it. They inspire people to sacrifice their lives for the good of country. Their speech may produce some effect but that does not last long. If they themselves do what they preach, other will also follow them. So seeing is importance that hearing. There are some teachers who smoke and advise their pupils not to smoke. The pupils do not follow their advice.
We believe in action not in words. The suggestions have no value if they are not converted into practice. The great man like Buddha did what he preached. So people have faith in his preaching. Thus, this proverb aware us that doing is much more important than talking.
