When your destination is long and far and when the odyssey has to be
journeyed by crossing many milestones, it is good to be excited by the little
accomplishments coming your way, but to lose alertness or become careless
because of excitement, will prove to be a deviation from your final destination.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Agreed, there cannot be anything in this world more encouraging and exciting
than success. But success is achieved only by those, who refuse to relent on
their efforts even in trying times.
What do we call brilliancy? An attitude of applying more than required. But then
what is the need to apply more than that is needed? That in itself is a kind of
foolishness.
If any achievement of your life goes to your head and you are gripped by ego...
then understand that you have reached your limit to grow. Now there can be only
one way to go and that is downwards.
It is not that the Muslim community is not changing, but the pace is too slow.
Why don't they understand that without adapting oneself to the changing world,
one cannot really tread the path of progress.
If something is considered right at a particular place at a particular time, the
same thing is rendered useless with the change of place and time. In that case,
of what relevance is the list of good and bad deeds that we are working upon?
The act which gives you happiness, which even the mind gets excited to do...
how could it be a 'sin'? After death, anyway you will not be able to do anything.
'Yes' is theism and 'No' is atheism. In life the number of things that you have firmly
abstained from...shows how irreligious you are. The meaning of irreligiousness
itself is the denial of God's creations.
In life, if anything "unexpected or unforeseen" happens with you or around you,
then it is nothing but the manifestation of your foolishness.
No matter how much ever your brain understands, ultimately it is the "mind"
that needs to be transformed. Because of wrong decisions being taken in an
enraged state of mind, the brain may decide n-number of times not to get angry
again, yet, as soon as there is an inkling of anger in the mind, you will invariably
end up being angry.
