Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
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.
You have your own religion and God, a nation as well as a society. You are
educated also and living with many ambitions and aspirations in mind. You have
many well-wishers too in the name of family and friends. But then it is difficult to
understand, why there are so many failures and miseries in life? Are you facing
the consequences of breaking the ultimate law of nature, "You come alone, go
alone?"
There is nothing wrong in having any kind of fancy in life or any physical act, if
done appropriately. Likewise, there is no virtue in visiting temples or worshipping
either. The goodness of being human lies in the qualities like compassion, self-
confidence, self-dependence and innocence which are tainted by attributes like
jealousy, partiality, selfishness and stubbornness.
If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false
hopes"; then today itself the shutters of all the temples, mosques, churches and
other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.
We tend to suppress our anger against each other which ultimately leads to big
quarrels some day. If two people have been naturally expressing their differences
of opinion or having small arguments on regular basis, they will never have
resentment or enmity of a lifetime.
If you are dissatisfied or unhappy with any of your act or thinking, then too don't
try to change it, you will fail miserably. Transform your nature, your action and
thinking will change by themselves.
How do we even expect our life to change for the better, when the reins of our life
are in the hands of those who read our palms for 100 rupees, suggest auspicious
time for 200 rupees and sell idols for 500 rupees?
If you keep your focus fixed on the 'witness' - the one who is watching rather
than the 'ego' - the doer...your identification with the objects, people and acts will
be severed. The root cause of all the miseries of the world is our attachment with
them.
Have you ever seen classes where tigers are taught to hunt, monkeys to jump
or cows being trained to abstain from eating flesh? Then what are we being
preached and why? Do our religious heads and scriptures consider us even
worse than animals?
