It doesn't help if you do the right thing but with wrong reason in mind!
You might argue that how does it matter, if the end result of the action is same? Does the reason behind the action really matter?
Well, it does matter! Paramahamsa Nithyananda proved his point through this joke:
Once, three madmen in a mental asylum go to the resident doctor and say that they are no more mad, and now have come to their senses. The doc then prescribes them to undergo a test next day to prove their sanity. The next morning, the doc takes them to a swimming pool, and asks them to go up onto the diving board. The swimming pool at that time isn't filled with water due to pool maintenance. The doc asks the first madman to jump, and he jumps, breaking his hands. Now is the turn of the second madman, who dutifully jumps and breaks his legs. Finally when its the turn of the third madman, he hesitates, and then says he won't! The doc is happy that atleast one amongst the three is sane, and asks him to climb down and meet him in his office. The doc seated in his office chair, asks the sane one what made him decide not to jump. He replies, "I don't know swimming!"
