Do you know the difference between 'doing' and 'happening'? Whatever that
you have to do out of compulsion, shows your lack of power and slavery, and
whatever that simply ''happens'' by you is actually the time when you are really
alive.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Have you ever thought; is there any difference between respect and insult?
Respect is what the other gives you and insult is what the other tries to snatch
from you. Thus in both cases, the 'doer'- is the other only...how does it matter to
you?
In life, if you wish to save yourself from going insane, set your anger and love
free... Suppressing them, both get perverted and assume monstrous forms.
Because we suppress our anger against the strong and powerful, we keep
venting our anger on the weak, irrespective of the reason.
Brain understands the things by dissecting them because all it knows is the
tangible objects. But mind does not recognize the tangible objects differently; it
only understands the vibrations and their intensities and depths. It is only due
to our inability to establish a mutual communication between the two, that we all
are total failures.
In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
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.
No matter how adverse the circumstances are, never step back when it comes
to "performing your duties" or honouring your responsibilities. If the body wears
out, fuel it with the energy of the mind; if the mind also gets exhausted, pull it
through with the energy of the soul... But no matter what...finish the task taken
in hand.
What is the definition of happiness? The feeling that arises when you are acting
according to your nature, is called "Happiness".
Human intelligence lies in making such choices that whatever he desires or
attains out of them...the end result should only be happiness.
