Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Birth is a moment. Even death is a moment. The chain of moments spent between
the two is called life. In that case, time is indeed precious. We can bring an end
to all our problems as soon as we analyze... as to where and on what issues we
have been wasting our time.
The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
Are we Hindu and Indian? Christian and American?... Or a unique human being
born on this earth? The choice that you make here will decide the path of your
life.
'Joy' emanates only from those actions which bear fruits instantly. 'Act' today and
'result' tomorrow, such karmas can only impart pains and pleasures.
Every 100 years a crowd of 5 billion people is born, whereas in 100 years hardly
500 people are born with awareness. Now you have to decide, whether you want
to remain a part of the crowd and die; or create your own identity and become
immortal in history forever.
Without knowing your own mind, no success can be achieved in life. But to
understand the mind, neither books nor teachings are available. This is the sole
reason for such a miserable failure of human beings.
Ego simply doesn't know how to strike a balance. Either it stays immersed in the
worldly matters or getting distressed, takes 'sanyas' - renounce the world... But
to lead a normal life while being mentally detached from the world is something
that it just does not know.
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
If you wish to experience the ego of having done something great in life, then
you will have to do away with all those small petty egos you tend to carry day in
and day out.
After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
