There is nothing in life that is absolutely good or bad. Sun gives life, but radiates
fierce heat too. If water quenches the thirst, then it also causes devastation
by bringing floods. Hence, the one who only embraces the positive aspects of
everything goes on being happy forever.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
Quite often in our attempt to solve the problems we end up inching closer to
them. Generally problems come and go, there really is nothing much for you to
do in it.
All that your mind absorbs from the external world will prove to be a deterrent,
meaning it will push you back in life. Whatever your mind brings forth from within,
will only make you grow in life.
How 'aware' you are by mind, can be judged by the number of people who are
able to gauge your reactions on any particular matter. You will always find the
reactions of an awakened person to be unexpected.
No matter how powerful the person is, however great are his feelings for you...
or even if you consider him God; he too, does not hold the authority to guarantee
you a permanent solution for your peace, happiness and prosperity.
Peace, happiness, satisfaction, compassion, freedom, concentration, etc. are the
qualities which lead you to those intrinsic powers lying deep within your mind...
from where the foundation of you becoming a "historical figure" gets laid.
The decision that we have to make is, what is more important, visiting temples,
mosques, churches or eradicating negativities from the mind?
Hindus have accepted only them as their gods who destroyed the evildoers. Why
don't we also straighten "those" who are busy spreading their web of ashrams
with our hard-earned money and bring them on the right path... If you can do
this wonder, no one can stop India from being the "number one" country in the
world.
Ego simply doesn't know how to strike a balance. Either it stays immersed in the
worldly matters or getting distressed, takes 'sanyas' - renounce the world... But
to lead a normal life while being mentally detached from the world is something
that it just does not know.
