To get enthused about something before it is achieved, always brings undesired
grievous results. To realize it, you need not go far, just reflect upon a few incidents
of your life...you will understand.

Quotations
Wisdom
What amount of "truth" are you living in can be gauged from the way you perceive
the good-bad events happening with you, and how much of it you attribute to
yourself and how much to others?
-Deep Trivedi
The person who indulges in self-torturing thoughts like fasting or uprooting his
own hair is bound to perform acts that will cause pain to others. Now you say,
how can such a person who inflicts pain on others ever be happy?
-Deep Trivedi
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-Deep Trivedi
Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
-Hal Borland "Hal Borland"
Do not extinguish the lamp of Divine Grace and do not let the candle of wisdom die out in the darkness of lust and error.
-Kahlil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
There is no happiness in this world which is not balanced by facing equal amount
of sorrow. If you wish to save yourself from sorrows, then bury the feeling of
indulgence and separate yourself from the one who is enjoying within you. And
this is possible only if you stop taking pride in being a ''doer''.
-Deep Trivedi
Rain down your wisdom in sacred streams to carry me like an upturned leaf through the currents of this grey day.
-Prayer "Prayers for a Planetary Pilgrim"
Be it love or business, charity or anger, when you do everything half heartedly,
how can you expect a decisive result?
-Deep Trivedi
