Quotations
Deep Trivedi
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
In this universe sun, air, water, all are busy performing their functions, but have
no aspirations. Nothing to gain. When we will also learn to engage ourselves
in endeavours without any ambition or expectation, we will reach the ultimate
height of satisfaction.
The person who does not love himself, though he may abstain from meat in the
name of non-violence; his mind can never be non-violent.
Only he can perpetrate violence on others, who knowingly or unknowingly is
torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.
The entire human life is driven by mind, and mind functions according to its
laws... In that case, what can be more important in human life than knowing and
understanding these laws of mind?
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.
I consider him to be a true believer of God, who no matter what happens...has
the capacity to cheerfully accept it there and then, as the will of God.
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.
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.
A person who offers namaz five times a day, dot on time, when and how can he
ever become an "Edison"?
