If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you carefully look at life, there is always something worth learning in each
incident that happens. Our problem is, we get stuck in the incident and miss the
opportunity to learn the lesson.
To be joyous in life, a few bites to eat in peace, pouring rains or cool breeze are
sufficient... Whereas for reasons to be sad, you can write thousands of books on
it.
If you want to recognize your being, peep within yourself for a moment. Right
from birth until now, irrespective of the number of ups and downs that have come
along the journey of life, there is something which is still the same, and that is the
way you feel.
As soon as the aircraft was invented, there were people who came forward to
claim that it was possessed by 'Rama' long ago. But the question is, what do we
gain out of these claims? Even today, we have to travel in the aircrafts invented
by 'Wright Brothers' only.
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.
The more you become natural, the more energy you get from nature. Always
remember, your own energy is very miniscule in order to make your life
successful.
All the effective knowledge is very much hidden in the deep recesses of human mind. This is the reason, be it melodies of Mozart or Omar Khayyam's rubaiyat, Krishna's Bhagavad Gita or Einstein's formula which transformed the world E=mc2; all of them have stemmed from within.
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.
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
