Quotations
Deep Trivedi
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
No teaching, no society nor any of the so-called religion explains to us the
importance of qualities like simplicity, innocence, selflessness or compassion.
Whereas the truth is, all the best creations, inventions and arts have stemmed
from the "consciousness" of people with these qualities.
Only by moving with time, one can attain the best possible heights of his life. On
the screen of time, few things are absolutely irrelevant. Mainly two; first, worship
and rituals and second, redundant knowledge. It is because of these two, that
we get separated from time and its results are right in front of our eyes.
Only two kinds of deeds can be termed auspicious; one, wherein you get the
pleasure but not at the cost of others. (Mind here, it does not include the imaginary
or ego-driven losses) and second, the task, which if completed benefits millions
of people.
Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
When justice is to be served on the judgment day anyway, then by raising arms
and killing innocent people today, what is it that these terrorists are trying to
justify?
'Do your karma without worrying about the fruits of your action.' This is the most
wonderful shloka recited by the most intelligent man of this world "Krishna",
in the most unique granth the "Bhagavad Gita". The irony is, all our worships,
rituals, fasting, vastu, astrology are the acts performed with the expectations of
desired results.
In this world, if desires could bring any result - then there is no dearth of desires
in anyone.
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.
The effects of all our actions are experienced instantaneously in the form of the
state of mind they elicit... Those who are laying the web of religions in the name
of doctrine of Karma are simply being deceitful.
