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
Only he can perpetrate violence on others, who knowingly or unknowingly is
torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.
Isn't it funny that we never look into the lives of the great people whom we
worship, to dispel the miseries from our life and see, how much pain they have
endured in their life. The truth is, we fail to understand one simple and basic
fact that as long as there is life, there will be pain; no matter however great the
person may be... Their greatness is not in having a life without hardship but
because of their ability to remain cheerful even when surrounded by miseries.
At the level of mind, self-confidence and capability are two sides of the same coin.
If you have confidence in your mind, the capability is bound to reflect evidently.
It is said, 'If God is kind, even a donkey can roar like a lion'... Indeed it is true; but
in this world of intelligent men, where is the readiness in many people to become
"natural"?
No matter how knowledgeable a person is or how compassionate he is; even
for him the body does not deviate from its nature. Like us, even their bodies fall
sick; when poisoned or crucified on the gallows, even they die... Still weaving
miracles around them, isn't it a deliberate attempt to tarnish their personality?
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
A true 'lover' is the one, in whom his beloved can find not only a lover, but also a
friend, father, guru, brother, son, all of them.
Nature has no interference in human life. A human being is absolutely free from
nature's side. In that case, if not the person himself, who else is responsible for
all his happiness and sorrows?
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.
