Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Nature's creation is such that whatever is worth attaining or beneficial for us, we can get it automatically. But in the race to grab the things which are futile and painful, we miss attaining them only.
We need to understand, what is more helpful for the growth of life; educational qualifications or concentration? Glancing at lives from Buddha to Edison, concentration only seems to be more important.
The people who are successful in life are not so because they are highly qualified, intelligent or meticulously doing their job, but the secret of their success lies in the fact that they have educated themselves only with the vital, need-based, the most essential knowledge...and they put in just the required effort in any task that they pursue. By doing so, they conserve their precious time and energy which eventually proves to be helpful in leading them to the path of success.
Jains insist on having their separate food counters even at others' weddings. It is really difficult to understand, though they seem to be okay otherwise, what problem they have in mingling with people?
What is the difference between us and Buddha, Krishna and Christ? Firstly, eliminating the negativities of mind, they energized themselves and then they deployed the same energy for the upliftment of the whole world. And look at us, we are so inept that we can't even amass 'energy for our own betterment'.
"Act without expectations"...what Krishna said is cent percent true. All he is saying is, whatever you do should generate nothing but happiness. As the action joyously performed is the only act for which the by-product is also joy...and that too instantly, hand-in-hand.
Your focus is always on everything else, but you. The biggest proof is, even in dreams, rarely any of you would have seen your own face. Indeed, it is sad that not only in your conscious mind but even in your unconscious mind, your focus is only on others.
Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.
In this world, there cannot be any "remedy" better than true love.
The Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?
