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"
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 real bath is to remove the dirt of the mind. Cleanliness is control of the senses. True wisdom is to see oneness everywhere.
- Upanishads "Skanda Upanishad"
The childishness of a human being is; on one hand, he is competing to take
credit for success, on the other hand, he is always seeking out an opportunity to
blame someone else for his failure. Consequently, he is never able to analyze
any event accurately.
-Deep Trivedi
You have your own religion and God, a nation as well as a society. You are
educated also and living with many ambitions and aspirations in mind. You have
many well-wishers too in the name of family and friends. But then it is difficult to
understand, why there are so many failures and miseries in life? Are you facing
the consequences of breaking the ultimate law of nature, "You come alone, go
alone?"
-Deep Trivedi
If pilgrimages were so sacred then why do thousands of pilgrims become victims
of accidents every year? Is God venting his anger on those, who despite being
born as human beings continue to harass him?
-Deep Trivedi
To enjoy 'what you have' is understandable; but mourning their loss has always
been beyond comprehension.
-Deep Trivedi
Your focus is always on everything else, but you. The biggest proof is, even in
dreams, rarely any of you would have seen your own face. Indeed, it is sad that
not only in your conscious mind but even in your unconscious mind, your focus
is only on others.
-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
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
