Before doing any good unto others, it is necessary for a person to know the
difference between soulful happiness and egoistic happiness. If you tamper with
someone's ego, then along with him, even you will be badly trapped.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The person who is being fooled is at no lesser fault than the one who fools him.
The only difference is; one is punished by the court of law...whereas the other
gets punished on his own.
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
There is nothing wrong in having any kind of fancy in life or any physical act, if
done appropriately. Likewise, there is no virtue in visiting temples or worshipping
either. The goodness of being human lies in the qualities like compassion, self-
confidence, self-dependence and innocence which are tainted by attributes like
jealousy, partiality, selfishness and stubbornness.
Don't be under the wrong impression that you have done something or you can
do something... Please be clear, it is your nature that propels you to act, and
your each action is nothing but a transpiration compelled by it.
Considering only your belief system to be true, you have been supporting it
firmly for ages. But why don't you understand that without taking constructive
criticism in your stride, it is impossible to tread the right path as per the need
of time. It is the law of human consciousness that the more one is open to his
own criticism, the more refined he gets. Only because of their own fanaticism,
the Muslim brothers all over the world are practically deprived of the immense
compassion of "intelligent" people.
Before teaching, scolding, advising or giving opinion to children, every parent
of the world should look deep into their lives and question themselves, are they
really successful in their life? Is it not possible that a child, without holding the
hand of his parents, has the potential to surpass them purely on the basis of his
own decisions and freedom?
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
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.
It is difficult to understand as to who is stopping a person other than himself,
to live a life in utter bliss and joy. Nobody. And no one can either. It is just the
thousands of rules and fears devised by his brain...that have stopped him.
