The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Don't think you are getting worried because it is a matter of 'worry'; as the same
news yields different intensities of worries in each person.
The only principle to bring a task to fruition which you do not know how to do is,
completely surrendering to the person who knows it, with full trust.
Trusting oneself helps you gain self-confidence whereas leading life depending
upon others, be it even God, dwindles your confidence. And only those who are
full of confidence become successful in life.
Since like a horse you have blind-folded yourself from both the sides, you cannot
see anything other than your own religion and culture; and that is why, your
religious gurus have been feeding you dry grass covering your eyes with green
glasses.
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.
Neither lavish living is a sin nor simple living a virtue; but pretending and portraying
other than what we are or what we have, is certainly our hypocrisy.
The biggest treasure of a human being is his "power of imagination". Instead
of utilizing it for making a discovery or melody or exploring the avenues of
business...we waste it on imaginary worries and finding fictitious Gods to resolve
it.
In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
It is not that the world has deteriorated today. You perceive the world as you are.
The world has been the same from the very beginning; neither has there been
a virtuous age (Dharma yuga) nor a sin age (Papi yuga). Here, everything has
always been dependent on an individual's perspective with which he looks at it.
