What is being advised through this direction is that man should always carefully plan all his future actions. Deciding to do anything one should always view all sides of the matter; consider all the pros and cons of the consequences before taking that decision.
Actions should not be taken in haste; major or even minor decisions should be considered and judged from all angles. Just as when we walk on the road we take care of the pits or puddles.
We do not drive our car blindly or rashly without caring what blockades are there on the road; which part of the road is without pits this is done for the safety of the car as well as for those who are travelling by it.

So it is, while taking a jump, as and when one is required to, one must take due care that one does not fall into a shrub, a thorny bush or a deep crevice. Move with eyes open that is what is being advised. You are going in to purchase a house.
You must take due care of the locality; the surroundings, the environment around; you may even make due enquiries about the neighbours their nature and their ways. It is the house in which you have to live it is the quality of material used in its construction, the size of rooms and other amenities that you may look into why the surroundings or the neighbours. But we do it and that is right doing so.
Bad neighbours can make life miserable, unhealthy surroundings can ever be a health hazard. This is going to be a life’s purchase a house is not bought every day you have to take all this care. This is what ‘looking before leaping’ would mean.

Even in one’s talks one must take care of the .words that one uses. An unseeming remark or an unbecoming expression can lead to a great crisis in personal relations. So words, acts, decisions all need to be weighted well before spoken or done or taken.
